So in Dutch one expression for "that makes no sense" is "dat slaat nergens op", which literally translates to "that doesn't hit (slap, beat) anything".

A ruder variation of that is "dat slaat als een … op een drumstel", or "that hits like a … on a drum set".

For some reason I felt like sharing this trivia.

Aunty Donna were so wise.

The title alone sounds like this would be interesting, but I'll never know if it is because it has a trackers popup listing thousands of "partners" and a load of "legitimate interest" boxes ticked by default. This is Daily Mail level stuff, immediate back button for me.

This reminds me of a tongue drum I have. Have you thought about building an iterative solver for specific scales?

It would be interesting if you could simulate and then print (or laser cut) your own instrument on demand.

Those ads are nasty and really take away from the cool stuff you build!

I just entertained myself with this for 30 minutes.

Can you do this for a didgeridoo?

This is very cool stuff, indeed!

I didn’t get any sound on an iPhone either

> Does it work on safari mobile for anyone else?

It does for me. But I do use an ad blocker (Wipr 2).

there's an amazing video on youtube about how metal bar/gong instruments (like gamelans) have different overtones, and regular western intervals instead of being consonant (like with vibrating strings) are dissonant - even perfect 5ths - and a totally different set of intervals are consonant (slendro and pelog tunings are a bit different for this reason).

thinking about it, each drum here would have totally different ideal scales to the others.

this is cool.
