Barrel length, model and pitch!

[Mbrgr1]

Well, the heat forced me inside during the day and that usually results in pointless experiments!


If one were to cover the forcing cone with a finger and blow across the end of the barrel like a flute...........



1954 4" 38/44 G# 823.3 Hz


1972 Mod 36 2" G-6 1567.98 Hz


Colt PP 1919 6" C#5 542.8 Hz


Now if I can just build a pipe organ using vintage revolvers!


Pray for a cold front!

If you can find one that produces 440 Hz I'll buy it and have an excuse to bring a gun to rehearsal. Maybe give the oboe some competition for who gives the tuning note.

Hopefully you're not the type of musician who finds inspiration at the bottom of a bottle. You might write a song that will blow your own mind!

I prefer the "Schumann Resonance" @ 432 Hz, it resonates with 8 Hz, the "beat of the earth"


Can you imagine tuning to your registered magnum right before rehearsal? I'd love to see that.

Man, you need to get back outside!

Now, where else on the Web would I learn that! Thanks

Call me a nerd, but I find this fascinating...barrel resonance. I see lots of implications for bullet design, twist rates, etc. I'd bet Harry Pope knew the resonance of every barrel he made.

I'd be interested in knowing whether two consecutive serial numbered models produced the same sound.

Neat stuff, this. Thanks for sharing.
