DESCRIPTION
Illustrates modes of a pipe closed
at one end. Plays these four notes:
Lowest note is hard -- hold pipe vertical and near body, maintain large
air flow but with very light pressure of the lower lip folded over
teeth. Lowest note would be A-natural without end
correction. As you go up, the notes get still flatter from their
uncorrected values, but can be "lipped" into tune to some extent.
