  1. We have used Navier-Stokes-based simulations to study the spectral content of tones produced by a soprano recorder. Our focus is on the attack portion of a recorder tone and how it can be influenced and controlled by the player. We show that both the blowing speed and the time taken to initiate blowing can be used to control the amplitudes and time variations of the upper partials during the attack. Our simulations are consistent with previous experimental results reported in the literature for flue instruments and with a new analysis of tones produced by a soprano recorder. The results illustrate how a player can control the expressiveness of a recorder tone.
