What you'll learn

  1. Open pipe: Open pipe: f = v / 2L
  2. Close one end: Closed pipe: f = v / 4L
  3. Name the pipe: Odd harmonics only? Then one end is closed
  4. How many notes: A closed pipe skips the even harmonics
  5. Match the overtone: Match two pipes by their notes
  6. Pin it with beats: Beats give the gap, not the side
  7. Two gases: A gas changes the speed, and so the notes
