Back to basics: The Secrets of the Chladni Patterns

Private member DiscussionAcoustic Builds

Feb 1, 2025

Hi, I just glued the bridge on the dreadnought I'm building and generated some Chladni patterns. I have the monopole at 188 Hz, long dipole at 335 Hz and cross dipole at 378 Hz. I would expect the cross dipole to come at a lower frequency than the long dipole, but they seem to be reversed. Does anyone know why this happens? Pictures attached. Any comments about things you can see on them, good or bad, are welcome :) Thanks! Jorge
