[CAUT] The fundamental - Where is it?

[Porritt, David]

Don:

Jim Ellis mentioned a way to get A0 to vibrate at the fundamental.  He said to press down on the string pretty hard then let go of it as quickly as possible but not in a way that would pluck it.  It will oscillate at the fundamental frequency and if you didn't allow it to be "plucked" it would pretty much be the fundamental.  You won't hear much but you can see it vibrating.

Fred,

Perhaps one of these:

Not sure what beer brand yet but I'm leaning towards Duvel. I'm open to other suggestions. :-) Buy a plane ticket to Ithaca and you are invited to the chapter meeting where I plan to win!

I'm hoping I can borrow/rent a sensitive enough machine to record lower frequencies and put together a chapter meeting on the subject.


Biologists studying elephants record ultrasonic frequencies in some fashion, so there must be some kind of equipment that works with those extra low frequencies.
            This must be a pretty special kind of beer to merit so much effort. Are we all invited <G>?
