As the mouth, nose and larynx are of special interest to thesinger, their action and influence will be dealt with later. Thepoint for present consideration is their respective positions(Fig. 6). The location of the mouth and nose is obvious. The Larynx. The larynx, which is attached by a membrane (hyo-thyroid)to the bone of the tongue (hyoid bone) is situated at the topof the windpipe and the firm knob-like protuberance in thefront of the neck is the frontal (thyroid) cartilage of that or-gan. It is to the inner frontal surface of this cartilage thatthe vocal ligaments are attached at their anterior terminations(Fig. 0- The Trachea. The windpipe (t
