✦ Synopsis

A BSTRA CT

Measuring the shock spectrum of a mallet when it strikes a stationary force transducer is a convenient way to determine its effectiveness in exciting vibrations in a musical instrument. The maximum value of the residual shock spectrum, which indicates the frequency range over which a mallet is most effective, may vary with the strength of the blow. Experimental measurements show how this maximum frequency varies with blow strength for a number of mallets.
