20.Vibration of cello (32 times slower): Top plate



Placed on wooden floor, with steel pipe endpin
C note (66 Hz, open)
Play: 0.9 second after a pizzicato, 3 measurements
Cello: Filip Kuijken 2011
32 times slower

The vibrations of strings are transmitted to the top plate of cello. Meanwhile the movements of the top plate impact to strings behavior.
This and the next slow-motion videos show a strong linkage between the strings and the top plate.

When a cello player plays his/her cello, they can see a vibration-retention-image of strings over the fingerboard. Probably, the behavior of the strings or the beauty of the string-vibration will very well link to the vibration of the top plate and finally to his/her cello sound. Of course string material/brands or player's skill should be taken into account though.

弦の振動と表板の振動は非常によく連動しているように見えます。チェロ演奏時に指板の上に見える弦振動残像・・それは、表板の振動、そして演奏の音とダイレクトに結びついているかもしれません。
