text: In this connection I would state that a rod or tube supported wholly at one end does not have the tonal effect under vibration that a similar tube or rod has when supported at a point, which may be termed a nodal point, intermediate of its ends, and the free ends of which have relative lengths corresponding to related harmonic or tonal values; also, it is desirable that the devices that support the tube be so constructed that its vibration will be in such harmonic consonance with the vibrations of the tube that the vibrations of the latter will be fully and uninterruptedly transmitted through the support-as to asounding board, resonator, or other device upon or from which the tube may be borne or suspended.
