This study investigates acoustical features of the vocal tracts of the clarinettists, and how these features influence the frequency of the note plaed, its spectrum and the mouth pressure required to initiate the note. Experiments were conducted using a blowing machine with an artificial VT. Threshold pressures, playing frequencies, spectra and transition transients were measured. The configuration
