In this video lesson, Nick Drozdoff starts a minimally technical discussion about why one instrument sounds different from another, even if playing the same note. While there is a brief flirtation with Fourier synthesis, this is a very qualitative discussion.

This will also be included on Nick Drozdoff's Science Olympiad page.

1. Why do Light-Weight Trumpets "Play Brighter"?
2. How Does a Trumpet Work?
3. Beats and Multiphonics on a Bass Trumpet
4. Timbre and Harmonics and Pedal Tones as Applied to Trumpet and Flugelhorn
5. On Trumpet Mouthpieces and Tone (Part One)
6. Shattering Glass with the Un-amplified Sound of a Trumpet

Ever wonder how a musical brass instrument such as the trumpet works in terms of physical and scientific phenomena?

In this course, professional trumpeter and Physics teacher Nick Drozdoff gives 10 video lessons explaining the beautiful connection between Physics and Music, focusing on the mechanism behind the trumpet.
