solve-instrument Description

Position holes on a wind instrument solve-instrument is a software to position the finger holes on a wind instrument.Developer commentsYou will need Python 2. I have included some example instrument design scripts. You can try these out by running them like any normal Python program, eg:python three_hole_pipe.pyTo make your own design, I suggest copying one of these example scripts and altering the parameters to suit.Notes:Notes can either be given in scientific pitch notation ('A4', 'Bb5', 'F#3', etc), or as frequencies in Hz (eg 440.0).You can specify cross fingerings, and fingerings in multiple registers. If a perfect arrangement of finger hole positions isn't possible, errors will be minimized by distributing them over all the different fingerings.There are a variety of options which in combination will let you create a design with a fairly even spacing of holes and with none too close together or too far apart.Deviations in bore area allow an instrument to stay in tune over several registers. A simple way to create a bore area deviation is to drill a hole and then cover it. The flute example uses this idea to produce an instrument that is in fairly good tune over two octaves, while still allowing many cross-fingerings.The code contains support for conical instruments. However this is as yet untested. Requirements: · Python
