Abstract
Sound waves traveling in an acoustic tube are a typical example of one-dimensional sound waves in the air. An acoustic tube is a basic model for musical wind instruments, just as vibration of a string is the fundamental basis of string instruments. Similar to vibration of a string, there are eigenfrequencies of an acoustic tube due to waves travelling between both ends. Resonance, which makes the acoustic tube an musical instrument, occurs at the eigenfrequencies. In this chapter, basic properties are described, related to sound in an acoustic tube.
