Acoustic Resonator
notes: label: Description
content: While investigating the physics of sound, a French scientist named Felix Savart (1791-1841) joined a brass bell (or bowl) with a moveable wooden resonator. He then bowed or struck the bell, and found that he could modify its loudness by moving the resonator closer or further away. This example from Bucknell University would have been used for that type of experiment.
