An open-open tube is a type of musical instrument or resonator that has both ends open, allowing sound waves to travel through it.
Imagine blowing into a long, hollow pipe with openings at both ends. The air you blow creates sound waves that bounce back and forth between the two ends, creating a musical tone.
Closed-Closed tube: A closed-closed tube is a musical instrument or resonator that has both ends closed, causing sound waves to reflect off the closed ends.
Open-Closed tube: An open-closed tube is a musical instrument or resonator that has one end open and one end closed, resulting in unique sound characteristics.
