I was reading the article "ontuningthebridge" and i came to think how could i measure the frequence of the bridge, ate home with notting special. Maybe like a glass tunned at F#7 (2959Hz) so i pluck the bridge and touch the glass and then the vibration ressonates using the glass like a tuning fork for the bridge. But i dont there are glasses tuned so high maybe a intermediate F# would do the work? you guys that do have the measure instruments of frequence, could you try like to bridges, one not tuned and other one tuned, and playing F# on the violin, maybe on the D string for a stroger vibration, then living the bridge on the plate of the violin, would the tuned move? i dunno but for me i think it would.

Here's a fun video about tuning forks. I always liked them. Now I like them even more! And here's a riddle for you, and I don't know the answer. I have one of those large A440 Wittner forks on a spruce resonator box. When my A string is accurately in tune I can set the fork vibrating loudly from 30 ft. away, and probably further than that but that's as large as my room is. Sympathetic vibrations, obviously. The riddle is that the effect is substantially more powerful when I have a performance mute on the violin. Can anyone explain that?
