Summary

Introduction

All living individuals are surrounded by different natural sounds, for example made by wind, weather, flowing water and they create their own specific sounds like chirping, singing, roaring and etc. When turned upside down and hung from its base — either with forming two ears enwind with a string — it was discovered by ancient people that this singing bowl produces a more pronounced sound It could swing freely: the bell was borne. At least we may say that the sounds of the idiophones from the Brunn Wolfholz, site 3 and Gellénháza were low-noise and sounded within the 7th—8th and maybe the 9th octaves This means that the sounds of the bells perceived by the human ear are in the upper human hearing range of a man. A lump of clay was wrapped around a 5 mm diameter stick, and shaped into the slender long crown form of the original one. Fundamental pitch 3700 Hz (A#7-16c) 2959 Hz (F#7+9c) 2960 Hz (F#7+9c) 2871 Hz (F7+46c)
