Looking for an example sentence for the Wiktionary

The entry for the word "open" has definitions for notes played on unstopped strings and notes played by not depressing keyholes and valves. For obvious reasons, I could provide an example sentence for string instruments, but not for wind instruments. Shushimnotrealstooge (talk) 02:21, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"In principle, the sound travels to the first open finger hole before it is reflected, and the distance between the tip of the mouthpiece and the first open finger- or keyhole determines the fundamental frequency of the instrument (...)" (Hyper-specializing in Saxophone Using Acoustical Insight and Deep Listening Skills, Jonas Braasch, Springer International Publishing, 2019, ISBN 9783030150464) ---Sluzzelin talk 05:06, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you might find more examples, by searching with the word "tone hole". ---Sluzzelin talk 05:19, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is a very good point! Shushimnotrealstooge (talk) 17:50, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
