Abstract
The objective of this paper is to investigate the possibility of giving useful interpretations of flueorgan pipe voicing practices in terms of the aerodynamical and aeroacoustical behaviour of the pipes. Anoverview is first given of the current state of the knowledge on sound generation in flue instruments. Afteran introduction into the limited literature on voicing an scheme is presented as a possible framework toclassify and characterize various voicing approaches. Use is made of dimensionless analysis to quantifythe specific properties of voicing methods in terms of aerodynamic parameters rather than geometric data.It is concluded that such an analysis might be a useful tool to be able to better document and understandhistoric instruments and their genesis in order to better conserve them.
