Savart's rods were, of course, as thick as the tables of the violin admitted.*
5* It may perhaps be useful to note that it is not necessary to make test rods of exactly the same dimensions; and it is often more convenient to reduce the vibrations to those of a standard rod by calculation. Thus if L is the length and T the thickness of the standard rod: l the length, t the thickness, and n the number of vibrations of another rod of
