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...
That's incorrect. At the device's resonant frequency, it's not amplifying. It's doing just the opposite, it's absorbing. It's like a notch filter. The less lossy the resonator, i.e. the higher the Q of the resonance, the greater the absorption and the narrower the bandwidth of the absorption. Conversely, with a more lossy resonator and a lower Q, the less the absorption and the wider the bandwidth.
