That was used by the Greeks in their theaters to amplify the desirable frequencies of human speech, exactly as you and the 6moons reviewer describe it. Even the style looks familiar! LOL

However, this is really a form of tone control. As you are amping by sympathetic resonance only a narrow band of frequencies, you are making a peak there and in its harmonics (also a poorly understood acoustic physical phenomenon among audiophiles, I see) at the expense of the rest of the spectrum. What that does is alter the balance of freqs to your brain. YOu may find it pleasing or you may find it not.

So with a bunch of "tuning" options available for your frequency spectrum tweaking you are shaping your sound to your liking. Same thing you could do electronically, if the purists here didn't so much despise it! ONly in this case it's additive and not subtractive of frequencies. So you don't lose info, you augment and shape its perception.

As I stated earlier, the physical possibilities are not a mystery. Just the objections!

Now this guy's a jeweler, so he made them pretty AND expensive. The latter is my only objection or I'd buy a bunch to play with.
