"resonator" 的定义和意义

What is a "resonator"?

A resonator is a part of a musical instrument that amplifies or enhances the sound produced by the instrument. It works by vibrating or resonating in response to the sound waves created when the instrument is played. In string instruments like guitars and violins, the resonator is often a hollow or specially designed chamber that amplifies the sound of the strings. In percussion instruments, a resonator can be a chamber or tube that helps amplify and refine the sound produced. In some brass and woodwind instruments, a resonator can be an additional component that modifies the tone and projection of the sound. The resonator improves the instrument’s volume and tonal quality by reinforcing specific frequencies.
