AB - Following result was concluded by analyzing harmonics of E♭ and B♭ notes of western double reed instrument, oboe and Korean traditional instrument, Taepyeongso, Piri.
First, distinctive sound by double reed instruments represents green color in colored hearing sense. Common ground of oboe, Taepyeongso, Piri is that all these are double reed instruments, and thus, when blowing hard, they sound like peculiar tones with slightly chubby and duck like feeling. Characteristics of these double reed instruments are close to green color from a colored hearing standpoint. This is consistent with the assertion by Lavignac. He claimed that oboe tone carries green color.
Second, the third harmonic has yellow-green and fifth harmonic with blue-green, and odd number harmonics such as 3 and 5, indicate distinctive unique color of double reed instruments. As first, second, and fourth harmonics are the same with tone of basic frequency with octave difference, they show tone color rather than unique color of the instrument. And front odd number harmonics excluding first harmonic seem to represent independent and unique color.
Third, double reed instrument represents green color of “Five traditional Colors,” and green indicates combination of yellow and blue. As shown in oboe and Piri, yellow-green and blue-green show up one after the other, this has relevance to the fact that green came out of combination of yellow and 124 blue.
B♭ note carries green color close to yellow, and E♭ note carries green color close to blue. Yellow color means soil, and blue color indicates wood, and oboe, Taepyeongso, and Piri all belong to wood wind instrument group made of wooden material.
