The goal of this research is to use the Finite Element Method to investigate the acoustic characteristics of woodwind instrument air columns. Particular analyses have included woodwind toneholes and the derivation of one-dimensional transfer matrix representations, external tonehole interactions and the junction of a cylinder and a truncated cone.
