What reading level is Sound And Music book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 accelerated, and the pitch is §| heightened as in the case of H the siren just used.
There is but one step from the mill-siren to a very sim- ple and primitive instrument, to which I wish now to direct your attention. I show it to you to emphasize what I have thus far been insisting on, — namely, that sound ex- ternally to the ear is merely a mode of motion, and that when motion is properly timed, sound is always the result.
The instrument referred to is called a musical sling, and con- sists... of simply a thin plate of metal (Fig. 10) about three by six inches in size, and attached to a string. I take hold of the string and give the plate a whir- ling motion, making it describe a circle in the air. The resist- ance of the air causes the plate rapidly to revolve around its longer axis, and to give forth, first a flutter, and then the more acute musical sound which is distinctly audible in every part of the room.
A more interesting way of throwing the air into periodic pulsations is by means of a jet of burning gas, preferably hydrogen.
