A removable instrumentation assembly and probe for use in simultaneously measuring dynamic pressure, at least one static pressure, and temperature for a gas turbine combustor. The instrumentation assembly allows combustor performance analysis as well as monitoring of component integrity through dynamic pressure fluctuations. The instrumentation assembly includes a probe having a plurality of passages, each connected to tubular conduits for measuring and recording respective pressures. In the preferred embodiment, dynamic pressures from within a combustion chamber are measured and recorded along with static pressures within the combustion chamber and outside of the combustion chamber, along with external air temperature.
