The aim of this work is to highlight experimentally how inharmonicity of the bore resonance frequencies of an alto saxophone influences the nature of the oscillation regimes. A variable volume branching from the neck of an alto sax at an appropriate position allows one to change the frequency of the first resonance independently from the second. A blowing machine with artificial lips is used to...
