I now have confirmation of the six players for the SPAH Comb Test. They represent all the main embouchures:
TONGUE BLOCK
Dave Barrett, Brandon Bailey
PUCKER
Chris Michalek, Alex Paclin
MIX TB & PUCKER
Jimi Lee
U-BLOCK
Cara Cooke
I'm really pleased with the quality and stylistic diversity of the players. Listening to them will make the test an interesting entertainment event, concurrent with the science. Each player will play 10 times for 20 seconds per test.
All the sound clips will be recorded and put through spectrum analysis software. In addition to the player impressions and graphs of the comb sounds, we could get some interesting variations between embouchures that might be discerned with the spectrum analysis.
After the test, all sound clips will be posted online along with the free software for anyone who wants to analyse things further.
Test info and photos on my website (click link at top left).

I'd love to do it if you need another mixed player. If not, don't worry. I'd just like to help

Really looking forward to this. I appreciate that you are including the player impressions but I would like to know how you'll deal with that information. Also, can you clarify how you have controlled for other variables? Example, the obvious one, key choice and how the harp is set up. Thanks.

Thanks Jay, really good of you to offer :-) We have the players arranged, but if you want to help me with sound recording on the day, that would be great. We can talk about it at SPAH.

So, will this be individual results for each player? Because otherwise I see there is already some faults here.
