monochord


An instrument for experimenting upon the mathematical relations of musical sounds. It consists of a single string stretched between two bridges, one or both of which are movable, and which stand upon a graduated rule for the purpose of readily changing and measuring the length of the part of the string between them.

Origin: L. Monochordon, Gr, fr. With but one string; only, single + string: cf. F. Monocorde. See Chord, and cf. Mainchord.
