![]() ![]() I haven't looked up a reference for this, but I was taught (and this can easily be demonstrated by anyone holding a tuning fork themselves) that the fork shape serves to allow for CONSTRUCTIVE interference between the two generated waves. His explantion was incomplete and misleading.(UTC) -Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.67.158.5 ( talk) I recently saw some very strange explanation for the change of pitch by the famous PHD Albert Sanderson who makes the electronic tuners. Because the handle is now impeded, is slows down the ability of the tines to vibrate normally. This is because the handle actually vibrates up and down (directionally) as the tines vibrate horizontally. Touching a fork handle to a soundboard, the ear bone, or any resonator will alter (lower) the pitch by up to 12 cents. ![]() Flapdragon 18:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC) Reply I've re-directed it to sounding board and added a disambiguation link at soundboard to sounding board. Abdull 10:07, 19 August 2005 (UTC) Reply Good point, well spotted. Soundboard links to Mixing console - I would say the use of the word soundboard at this place in the article is wrong. For this reason, it is sometimes struck and then pressed down on a solid surface such as a desk which acts as a soundboard and greatly amplifies the note. From the article: When struck, it gives out a very faint note which is barely audible unless held right up to the ear. ![]()
