[edit] Stopped pipe

I doubt that this could ever become encyclopedic. It's already been transwikied to Wiktionary, also. — A.M. 04:24, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: this is important in the acoustics of woodwind instruments, where a stopped pipe produces a sound an octave lower than an open pipe of the same length, and contains only odd-numbered harmonics. I can't find a page that covers this: it's neither at musical acoustics nor at woodwind instrument. I would be glad to write a section about this, but I'm not sure where. platypeanArchcow 04:38, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to musical acoustics; I agree with Platypean's comment above. This is an important item in the science of musical acoustics. The clarinet, the pan pipes, organ pipes and other instruments demonstrate this behavior and it needs to be expanded somewhere. Antandrus (talk) 04:51, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
    • On second thought, keep and expand; I see Kappa is working on it. Antandrus (talk) 04:53, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Merging with Resonance#Music is also fine with me: I just want to make sure this topic gets written up somewhere. Antandrus (talk) 14:21, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep seems notable enough -CunningLinguist 06:56, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to Resonance#Music. Agree that it's an important topic and could be expanded on the Resonance page, but doesn't need a separate article. If you do keep it, consider moving it to Open and stopped pipes rather than two separate articles. —Wahoofive (talk) 06:58, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
