∙ 13y agoas soon as the bottom of the tuning fork touches the desk, the sound in the room becomes louder. This known as resonance. the sound is louder because there are more objects vibrating.

How do you use tuning fork?
if u hit it on a wooden desk (like a classroom desk) it will vibrate and you can see and feel the vibration of a tuning fork like that. If u touch it ur finger/hands will keep it from vibrating . ur welcum 4 telling u d answer! "peace!"
Who was America's tuning fork?
The tuning fork allows for a standard of pitch for musicians that is very reliable and accurate. Before metal tuning forks, pitch was established using wooden pitch pipes. These pitch pipes were not particularly accurate or reliable.
Why can tuning fork sounds be made louder by standing them on an empty wooden box?
a wooden surface is better for a tuning fork rather than, say, a metal surface because the wood vibrates less than metal, and doesn't interfere with the vibrations of the fork. rubber is probably the best surface to hit a fork on.
What do you do if you get a crack in your wooden clarinet?
take it to the fix it man! he should glue it up and sand it off, the crack will have gone it it will almost be invisible if its done well. dont leave it else the crack will expand and the tuning will go!
Are castanets non pitched instruments?
yes! the tuning rods(the screws around the drums metal rim) change the tuning of the drum depending on how loose or tight you turn them. There are tuning gauges that you can use as well, that measure drum head surface tension to set the tuning of a drum to a specific note/ sound.

Why does tuning a bagpipe change in cold weather please help?
Due to a number of factors. The speed of sound in air changes as a function of ambient temperature. Also, wood constricts in the cold and this will change the vibrating frequency and resonance of the wooden reeds and the drones.
What happens when you say moo to a wooden spork?
The wooden Spork sneezes on your big toe
Is the castanets?
Castanets are a handheld percussion instrument of Spanish origin. Sounds is made by clapping two wooden plates together. It does not require tuning.

What happens to a wooden splint in gas cylinder filled with carbon dioxide?

Why a brass tumbler feels much cooler than a wooden tray on a chilly day?
Brass is a good conductor of heat. When one touches a brass tumbler, heat is conducted from the body to the brass tumbler easily. Hence, the temperature of the body reduces to a lower value and one feels cooler.Wood is a poor conductor of heat. When one touches a wooden tray, very little heat is conducted from the body to the wooden tray. Hence, there is only a negligible drop in the temperature of the body and one does not feel cold. Thus, a brass tumbler feels colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
How to fix noise and vibration on washer spin cycles?
It's important to ensure that your machine is level and that all four feet are firmly planted on the floor. This will require use of a "level" placed on top of the machine. And a wrench to adjust the length of the machine's feet. Once you have roughly adjusted the feet, try running a load in the spin cycle, and fine tuning the feet further to reduce the vibrations.Front loading HE washing machines can be particularly vulnerable to vibrations due to the vertical orientation of the spin, and the high RPM's of their spin cycles. They can build up a resonant vibration at high spin cycles (think tuning fork vibration, it's very similar). These vibrations may be less pronounced on cement or solid tile floors, but can be very pronounced on some wooden floors, especially if installed in mobile homes or on an upper floor of a house (again think placing a tuning fork to wood). Indeed the vibrations can resonate throughout the house, with the machine visibly vibrating, again, just like a tuning fork.But just as easily as a tuning fork can be dampened by lightly touching it, so can the resonant vibrations of these front loader machines. An extremely simple method of dampening these vibrations can be achieved with a $3 piece of swimming noodle foam. See the below listed related link "Simple Fix for Vibrating Washers"..
What happens where cables have to pass through a wooden joist?
Nothing happens. A hole is drilled through the joist and the wire is pulled through it.
