Other sites that you can visit in order to find relevant information includes:

 

http://www.physics.swri.edu/SoundView/

This site is the actual program I used in order to record my sounds.  It will display many types of graphs of the sounds that you record.  It is actually a really cool program if you wish to download it.

 

http://www.sfu.ca/sonic-studio/Resonance.html

This site focuses a lot on resonance and what it is and what it does.  It has audio examples of resonance.  Also a part of this site is http://www.sfu.ca/sonic-studio/Soundboard.html.  This focuses more on the soundboard and what it does and what it is.  You can search for other types of musical terms at http://www.sfu.ca/sonic-studio/index.html.  This is the homepage of the two sites.  It is the “Handbook for Acoustic Ecology”.  Or, in other words, this is a good site that will define just about any kind of musical aspect.

 

http://www.speech.kth.se/music/5_lectures/wogram/index.html#top

This site gives record of five lectures on the acoustics of the piano.  It gives diagrams that show how the soundboard resonates.  It also analyzes the different modes of a piano soundboard.  http://www.speech.kth.se/music/5_lectures/wogram/modal.html#resonances.  That is the site where you can find the actual diagrams.

 

http://www.geocities.com/johnsankey.geo/build.html

This site is kind of irrelevant, but I thought it was really cool.  You can actually go to this site to learn how to build a harpsichord.  In a way it is relevant in that a harpsichord you have to know the resonance of the strings and how they pertain to a soundboard in order to build one.

 

http://olbers.kent.edu/alcomed/Remote/Resonance/resonance.html

This site is mainly a site of reference for resonance.  It talks about the different kinds of vibrations and gives the example of the tuning fork and how it vibrates to give off a pure tone.  It will then connect you to other sites dealing with waves and amplitudes.
