Thanks for these responses. So what, then, changes in the equation fn =
nv/2L? Lips vibrate faster, so v changes? But I thought v = 343 m/s (speed
of sound in air). Or does n change, which creates the higher
frequencies/harmonics? What changes in that equation to predict which
frequencies are played on a bugle or other instrument where L is constant)?
P.S. I was a big fan of Maynard Ferguson, who could hit super high notes
on the trumpet. Saw him live in concert serveal times. Amazing!
