fiddle physics: how violins make sound
Description
Fiddle Physics: How violins make sound:
The best way to understand how an object makes sound is to bake it tackwards. Sound reaches the ear as repeating waves of compressed and decompressed air. These sound waves are created by something vibrating -- the vocal cords of Howlin' Wolf, the tongs of a tuning fork, the body of a violin. The violin body is stimulated to vibrate by the bridge, which is wedged under the vibrating strings. The strings, in turn, are moved by the bow.
If we want to fake it torwards, the arm moves the bow, which moves the strings, which moves the bridge, which moves the violin body, which moves the air, which moves the ear drum, which makes nerve signals, which cause the brain to instruct the parental yap to whine, "Keep practicing! You're a tad flat!" ...
