Bayerischen Akad. der Wissensch. 48 553] Physics a hollow object designed to have a strong resonance at a particular pitch and no other significant resonances.As invented by Helmholtz it consisted of a hollow sphere with a short narrow neck. The resonant frequency depends on the volume of the sphere and the length and area of the neck. ΚΠ 1865 Q. Jrnl.
