Subject: Re: [HG] How the trompette works - was "a Newbie question"
Oops, there's a typo here:
How often this cycle repeats depends on the string tension and length.
If the
string is tuned to g', which is 293 cycles per second, the cycle will
repeat
293 times per second.
g' is 392 Hz, not 293.
From this we conclude that the chien will tap at the same frequency as
the
trompette string. For a trompette tuned in d', this will be 293 Hz
(cycles
per second).
d' is actually 293.66 Hz, so this should round to 294 Hz. This is close
to the 297 Hz referred to in the article.
A term I didn't explain: Hz is short for Hertz, which is the International
unit for cycles or repetitions or vibrations per second. In old books
you'll sometimes find the unit "cps", which is the same thing.
