The theoretical discussion of vibrating plates, and of mem-branes, which are somewhat analogous, is too diiheult to bepresented here. Instruments like the cymbal and snare-drum have smallmusical value and are used… … 509. Bells. — The modes of vibration of a bell resemblethose of a plate in that the surface is divided by nodal lines,and the overtones form an inharmonic and often discordantseries. The least number of segments in which a bell may vibrate is four. Thus, if the fullcircle (Fig. 384) represent the…
