✦ Synopsis

A mathematical model of the excitation of a vibrating system by a plucking action is studied. The mechanism is of the type used in musical instruments. The effectiveness of the mechanism is computed over a considerable range of the relevant parameters. As the speed of the pluck is increased, with other parameters held fixed, the amplitude of the vibration produced rises to a maximum and then decreases to zero. The optimum speed increases with the stiffness of the plectrum. Other aspects of the behaviour of the system are discussed.

The excitation of a harpsichord string when it is set into motion, i.e., plucked, by a plectrum is studied. We "nd that the amplitude of the resulting string vibration is approximately independent of the velocity with which the key is depressed. This result is in accord with conventional wisdom, but

Robert Charles Benchley was an American humorist, actor, and drama critic. His main persona, that of a slightly confused, ineffectual, socially awkward bumbler, served in his essays and short films to gain him the sobriquet “the humorist’s humorist.” The character allowed him to comment brilliantly
