Todd, that was a great explanation. Not sure the acoustic engineers would put it that way, but it worked for me!

I saw this on farcebook a few days back and loved it. I figured I should also give Todd props for it here as well. It's a fantastically unique and wonderful little instrument. The design is very atypical for an instrument, and it really does work on all levels as (the other) Todd mentioned in an earlier post.
Love this little RickenUker.

Now, imagine you have a magic wand that "injects" vibrational energy into that plate.

It occurs to me that I might have confused the issue a bit by describing my metaphorical "magic wand" as "injecting" vibrational energy into the plate. It would be more accurate to imagine the "wand" as being sort of like a vibrating tuning fork, but one which vibrates at a wide range of pitches simultaneously. The vibrational energy isn't really "injected" into the plate, it just flows when the "wand" is coupled to the plate, like a tuning fork with its end touched to a tabletop.

Thanks, Doug, Alex, and Don. Much appreciated.

Steve, I'm glad my explanation worked for somebody!
