corkscrew and speed of sound.

Dear Julien.

For a test tube with L = 23.7 cm and D = 2.8 cm your program gives f = 375.0 Hz and c_air = 381 m/s, to high...
Strange, but the standard "Audio spectrum" of phyphox gives f = 351 Hz (c_air = 345 m/s) - much more acceptable
By the way the resonance peak of our "Resonance curve" gives f = 362 Hz ...

It is very important to measure the temperature around the bottle of wine to be opened. I would suggest to add a feature to your program: determination of the temperature from c_air using a simple formula t = (c_air/20)² - 273 (°C) .

A+
