Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Hi Kiku, very nice pic. I assume that you are comparing different flutes to each other, so I'm curious how you get a standard note (embouchure), how long a sound sample is used for each analysis?
I've played around with Audacity (Plug Plug).
This is Ro on a yuu and my favourite - short samples from each, over layed in different colours.

But if you look at full sample I'd say there is as much variation within each note as there is between the two flutes (first 3 Ro's are my Boo, then 4 on Yuu)

Mostly though I use the pitch analysis, sometimes with strange results.

Can you tell what it is yet?


Thanks for sharing its interesting to see what the Pro's can do, I'm looking forward to seeing more X-rays and frequency analysis when you are finished
Just idle curiosity really, but I do find your project fascinating.
Now get back to work and stop playing on the internet  ;-)

Hi Kiku,

your image might make a good album cover.. 

WOW ! That album cover looks cool. Will you sell me the design, Dust?

Ambi, I only made really simple stuff because I lost my sound files (I deleted them by mistake myself when I synchronised the back-up hard drive with a wrong file..... Very stupid, I know!) I only managed to retrieve less than a third of the files and most were broken. So, I was only measuring pitch this time.... which is not really what I planned to do. So, ot much pro in that area for me. Oh well.
Thanks for sharing your analysis pictures, Ambi and Phil.

Looks a little like another shakuhachi CD.
