Description: | Vox humana C (name and pitch of the pipe written in black ink on a gummed paper label stuck to the pipe). MANU unknown late19th early 20th century MANU This closed organ pipe mimics the sound of a choir singing in the distance. It is part of a set of sixteen pipes. There is no wind chest but curiously some of the pipes in this set have corks fitted so that they would fit one and it just so happens that the corks have been squashed to fit exactly the pipe openings in the wind chest GLAHM 105266.
This pipe has an enclosure or end cap that causes the standing sound wave in the resonator to be reflected effectively doubling the length of the tube. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
