Vieira, Leonardo Pereira; Aguiar, Carlos Eduardo – Physics Education, 2022
The udu is a traditional Nigerian percussion instrument that can be thought of as a Helmholtz resonator with two apertures. We use a simple two-particle mechanical analogue to study the behaviour of such a resonator and find that the model describes quite well the main features of udu acoustics.
