So a pretty clear flaw in this study is they placed their collection apparatus directly in front of the instrument bell. This is fine for brass instruments, but for woodwinds a large amount of the sound (and therefore air) comes out of the keys. This is not accounted for or addressed in the study, as far as I read. This also explains why bell covers were effective with brass instruments but not for woodwinds.
