  • Board capable of generating a harmonic sound
    Patent number: 8299342
    Abstract: A board includes a board body having a striking face and first and second symmetric axes defined in the striking face and perpendicular to each other and intersect with each other at a center of the striking face. The body includes first and second edges symmetric to each other relative to the first symmetric axis. The body further includes first and second wavy edges symmetric to each other relative to the second symmetric axis. The striking face is surrounded by the first and second edges and the first and second wavy edges. When an area around the center of the striking face is stricken, a plurality of natural frequencies is generated. The overtones of the natural frequencies are approximately integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, providing a harmonic sound and enhancing the sweetness of the sound.
