  • @jamielee9350
    @jamielee9350 Před 8 měsíci +25

    The triangle has an open corner in order to inhibit it from having a definite pitch and thereby increasing the complexity and richness of the overtones produced. It's actually an "IDIOPHONE"..

    Nice work. It is loud because it is large and is made of hard and springy stuff, and has strong resonances in the frequency bands where your ears are sensitive.

  • @1kreature
    @1kreature Před 8 měsíci +7

    That is just lovely!
    I'd love to see a proper frequency spectrum of that thing since it has uneven arms vs root. It does sound like it is a tiny bit spread in frequency.

    • @MesaCoast
      @MesaCoast Před 8 měsíci +1

      That'd be cool! A lot of concert triangles are designed that way on purpose to produce various overtones, sometimes also having arms of different length; I've even seen a couple where the thickness of the triangle varies drastically at different points. Perhaps the strangest triangle I've seen was one made out of square tube and gently twisted, before bending it into a triangle. I'm fairly certain it was made of brass, as it was very delicate

    • @wombatillo
      @wombatillo Před 8 měsíci +1

      @@MesaCoast A triangle is supposed to be the third harmonic, considering it's suspended from a third of a way from the tip and struck usually in the middle of the sides (one sixth away from the tips or any nodes)? I could see that even a slightly wrong suspension place (not exactly on the node of the main tone) will quickly absorb the vibration into the leather strap and also the two edge segments being 5-10% shorter than the middle segment will probably do all kinds of funky things to the tuning. I'd imagine that it will indeed "spread" the tone into a bunch of less defined nearby tones and give the triangle a much more natural sound than just one pure tone (with some over-harmonics)?

    Hey Will, not sure if you'll respond or not, but I've been watching you since you showed up at Alec's shop and watched Alec for a long time too. But there's one thing I never understood (just a casual forge lover but don't have anything to forge myself) is when or how do you decide to use either the Beaudry or the smaller power hammers, or the press? Why does it feel like sometimes you could honestly just use all 3 for the same thing, but you pick one or the other? That's not something I've seen being talked in any videos so far, and I was curious. Thank you!

    Create two Damascus round bars with tapered ends, featuring various-sized holes. Interlock these round bars with an aluminum round bar in the center. To produce sound, place a wooden stool with a leather cushion on the aluminum round bar. Then, strike the aluminum round bar with a wooden round stock.

    I was looking up a triangle like you made but shaped like a hexagon. Couldn't find a thing, I didn't search for long so Im sure someone at some point made one? But that would be a neat instrument to make. It seems you get three notes with the triangle, the hexagon should give one 6 notes. I have no idea where you would put the opening, probably near the same area you would on a triangle. Either way that would be fun little project.

  • @Joe___R
