Re:Why does an A note sound different across instruments? by conformist on Monday March 01, 2021 @05:45PM (#26309521)
Yes, to first oder, a trumpet is a long tube with a standing wave, which works conceptually like a string (but with different boundary conditions). It's probably the player's imposed frequency hitting multiples of the lowest resonance frequency that leads to different tones.
