change v in the equation? I thought v was the speed of sound in air (343
m/s) for brass instruments.

Not yet discussed.

thinking transverse wave speed varies w/ wave guide dimension, perhaps, so do longitudinal.

Not sure why a longitudinal pressure pulse in air would display much of a transverse component - same for EM waves in waveguides except near cutoff?
