Information About

Sounding Board




''Sounding boards'' of some instruments have unique names, such as ''plate'', or ''belly'' (the latter in a Violin ).

For the Piano , the sounding board is the back of the instrument (if an upright) or the bottom portion of the case (if a grand piano). The Harp has a soundboard below the strings.

More generally, any hard surface can act as a sounding board, for example when a Tuning Fork is struck and placed against such a surface to amplify the sound.
