Trombones Elicit Bitter More Strongly Than Do Clarinets: a Partial Replication of Three Studies of  Crisinel and Spence

We present a partial replication of the crossmodal pitch/taste correspondence of Crisinel and Spence. Male college students (n=46) were asked to judge the pitch (F1 –C4 on trombone; F3–C6 on clarinet) that best corresponded with each of four tastants (unsweetened coffee, unsweetened chocolate, salt, and sugar).
