@firdausa.6077 if you are a flute player, yes. Brass is different as the lip posture chooses the harmonic played. The brass musician also has many more harmonics available to play vs a flute.
Hey Paul, I'd like to take some more lessons with you. You are the best teacher I've ever had a lesson with, on any instrument. The 7th note in the harmonic series is the Bb right?
Your tube experiment shows clearly that it is the speed of the air passing the tube end that changes the pitch, even without changing the opening. That experience is not transferrable to brass playing as it concerns your lips. You need to increase the air speed through the mouthpiece far more than the pressure from your lungs and upper chest can do. In order to reach the higher notes, you need to do two things: First you need to increase the pressure on the air by adding the muscles making pressure on your abdomen (probably the "six pack") like for instance Bobby Shew shows in his videos on "Wedge breating". That is not enough to achieve the higher speeds however - you also need to narrow the aperture substancially by building your lip musculature, enabling them to withstand the far higher pressure from the abdomen driven air. Some help here is the matter of moving the aperture up in the mouthpiece to shorten the length of the aperture by shortening the chord of the mouthpiece opening, rather than having to use extra force on the lips to achieve the same. Personal experience should lose out to pure physics and some anatomy.
The pitch has NOTHING to do with air "speed" over the tongue. That is simply an erroneous construct that you heard and repeated. The lip posture determines the harmonic played. Tongue movements alone will not change the pitch unless the cocurrent lip firmness of posture occurs. Tongue movements are helpful for controlling the embouchure posture naturally. But they have no direct influence on the pitch played by some mythical "air speed" concept. Raising the tongue DOES NOT increase the velocity of flow through the lip aperture. When whistling the pitch is related to the resonance frequency of the oral space. Not the air speed.
@tonygodoy5968 sometimes. But that is not an equivalent or applicable example or analogy. Making the lip aperture smaller does not make the velocity through it greater. Neither does narrowing the flow path before the lip aperture increase the flow velocity through the lip aperture.
The whirly tube demo makes a lot of sense! Thanks for explaining this in your video 🎺

@@BrassBro-Science-ys7sgI’m not a flute player thanks
@@firdausa.6077 nor am I .
You’re welcome @firdausa.6077! Who doesn’t love a good whirly tube demo? ;-)
Another great informative video, thank you.
I think misinformative.

Does covering a portion of the end of a garden hose increase the velocity of the water?

With all due respect, you sound like the "smartest guy in the room" type. Post your own content instead of criticizing everyone else's.
