Recording and model
Recordings capture the real bell. The interactive model lets you experiment with its sound. The model is an approximation; the project explains what is known and what still needs to be measured.
How was this made?
The project brings together photographs, recordings and research. Open the project story for the methods, sources and remaining questions.
- Photographs captured the bell’s shape and surface.
- A 3D reconstruction makes it possible to explore the bell in your browser.
- Recordings guide a sound model that lets you try different strikes.
