Abstract
Friedrich Chladni tried to make the invisible visible.1 Sound can be heard but not seen. Guitar or violin bodies are moving when the instruments are played. Still, we cannot see these movements. When touching the surface, we can feel a movement, yet, we do not know how these surfaces are vibrating and how they are radiating these vibrations into the air around the instrument. Also, the sound in air is not visible. How does the vibration of the guitar come to our ears? We do not see the air vibrating, although there is influence over a distance.
