A look at what is currently available on eBay
What sites (or books) have good information about the physics and acoustics of the flute?
I have already found the UNSW Music acustics page on it, which is very informative, but I am looking for an explanation that is slightly less technical (i'm an 8th grader doing a project, i'm fairly advanced and interested in physics though). I do play flute. Also if you know of a good introduction to acustics of instruments in general, that would be great too.
Unfortunately, there is very little good information and none that is less technical.
There is still no agreement on what would make the ideal material for a flute (and why) and what passes for our current understanding of how the air column is set to vibrate is fairly recent.
As flutist, you know yourself just how much of the flute's tone is determined by the player rather than the flute. Think of what this implies for a physics explanation of what goes on.
As for other instruments, they are at least as difficult. Analyzing violins and other instruments of the class has been a major research project at MIT (with some lovely results, but hardly simple ones.)
Sorry I can't be of more help.
