Hi! I'm a physicist-turned-engineer who has studied the physical acoustics of guitars somewhat extensively (it was the subject of my undergraduate thesis). Unfortunately, I don't think anything particularly interesting can result from using helium with a guitar. The PITCH of the guitar is strictly a property of the stiffness, length, density, and tension of the strings themselves--they won't turn into ukelele pitch unless you change one of those things. This will be true with any stringed instrument. But, the pitch is not the only property of a guitar that can be altered. The thing that miiiight be possible with helium is messing with the impedance of the body of the guitar, thereby altering the coupling of the strings with the air. This is what's happening with the balloon piano, I think (though I'd need a better look to be certain): the soundboard of the piano is FULLY enclosed in helium, or at least enough to be a significant impact, and because helium is much lower density than air, it couples poorly with the air, causing the sound energy to be retained inside the balloon--resulting in the quiet, long-sustaining sound we heard. There may have also been some resonance of the balloon itself happening there, but that's only going to be a filtering effect on the sound of the strings, rather than pitch-shifting them. That said, a guitar doesn't really use the air inside its body for coupling with the air--most frequencies travel directly from string to bridge to wood to (exterior) air. The bass frequencies ARE affected by the interior, as the whole body flexes together when the wavelength is long enough. The hole is present to allow pressure equalization. This does provide some (helmholtz) resonance but I expect that a change in this resonance will not dramatically affect the guitar's sound. What might be cool is if you (somehow) put a balloon around the ENTIRE guitar. I think, because of increased mismatch of impedance, you'd have an increased sustain on your notes and an overall quieter tone. Depending on the shape of the balloon you may also see some high-pitched resonance filtering on your tone. But the pitch, coming from the strings, will be largely unaffected.

Physics student and guitarist, I also agree because if you think about it, it’s string that’s making the sound and not the sound hole, all the body does is amplify the sound, what would shift the pitch of the guitar is a different string material, which we already do but we don’t notice it as much because we tune it to the right note anyways.

Speed of sound in the balloon changed from the change of medium changing the properties of how the sound act with in but it does not change the pitch because the pitch we hear is based on the frequency of the balloon surface interacting with the air. The whole room has to be in helium for it to affect the pitch

(The Helium has to be around the strings, this results in less “air” friction, and the strings can swing faster.)* So if you play a guitar in a room filled with helium it should have a higher pitch, than in a room with air. They did this experiment in a German TV Show, but the video is currently not available on the web. *edit: this is physically not correct, I was wrong!

This would actually work if you fed a set of bagpipes or an organ with a supply of helium, or played a clarinet or a flute filled with helium with your lungs also full of helium.

That is a nail on the head explanation of the true physics of how and why helium changes the pitch in your voice and other reed and wind insturments. But if you could hear in a vacume the pitch of any string insturment would not show a significant change in pitch . Now to the other extreme if you played string instruments under water or oil or mercury then you could drastically change its sound and pitch. Maby put the bottom of the strings on the upright piano in a fluid tank and mike the tank.

Essentially, if you couple your guitar to a helium balloon instead of air, the actual pitch will be no higher (the same as with singing) - you shifted only the resonance frequencies, i. e. the formants of your resonator.

It's impressive how good a balloon guitar sounds. I think it uses the same principles as an acoustic guitar. The soundwaves reverberate inside the balloon the same way it would in an acoustic guitar. But the flexibility probably allows for some neet effects.

I have an idea for a piano build that I always thought would be interesting: A bowed piano. Essentially whenever you press a key, it wouldn't use a hammer to strike the string but a bow to vibrate the string, similar to a violin or cello. I think the way it could work is you build something to a giant belt sander perpendicular to the plane the strings are on, and then pressing a key for a note would, instead of hitting a hammer to strike the string, would push the string up into the belt sander. And obviously instead of sandpaper it would be like bow material that is waxed up with rosin. You could get the sound of an entire string orchestra through a piano!

The reason this doesn't work is because the pitch comes from the vibration of the strings. Having a lighter gas on the interior wouldn't change that. However if you had lighter strings you would, hence lighter gauge strings have higher resonant frequencies. Interestingly the helium guitar idea could work in theory if you had helium strings instead. Imagine a straw-like string that you could fill with gases to create different variables in the pitch. That in theory would work - but I'm also not sure how you'd actually thread something like that.

I've broke so many guitar strings before. Here's my tip: New strings are brittle, older strings are more malleable. So the trick is you tighten it just a little bit (maybe instead of E you tune it to a B), the string would stretch itself out and get out of tune in a few minutes. Then you tighten it again. The string needs to ease in to the tension.

Great that you show a long experiment with a negative result! Great to read the comments!

The frequency (pitch) is determined by the strings moving up and down. In order for the strings to change frequency to a higher pitch they would need to move faster either by increasing tension or reducing the atmosphere resistance(drag). Volume of the sound would affect how much vibration is transmitted from the strings to the air, this is where the body (balloon or wood etc.) would make a big difference. The body and resonance also determines where/how the sound is reflected and how the decay of the sound is shaped.

05:12. Who needs safety glasses……. ooops

Superb

I think The only way to get the actual fundamental pitch higher would be to fill the entire room with helium, otherwise it’s only the overtones that go up in pitch because the string is still vibrating against regular air

0:54 is this a song Mark Rober used also? I like this song and my mind say wow there is a engenier if i hear the song

0:35 is lo fi heaven.

Forget the string breaking anxiety, i had balloon popping anxiety for most this video

Try playing Harmonica on Helium. Should be very simple and successful.

Same

For anyone interested in why this doesn't work: Strings are in air to begin with and its the change in speed of sound that changes the vibrations of the molecules. The wavelength of the sound is what we pick up as difference in pitch. When sound travels between different mediums the soundwave will shift by the ratio between what the speed of sound has in those medias. What we have here is: Speed of sound in air (where the strings are) --> Speed of sound in helium (Where the baloon is) --> Speed of sound in air (on the way to your ear) -->Ear The starting condition and the end condition is the same, so it will be the same. When you speak with helium in your lungs your vocal cords will be covered in that medium when you speak. Then it will transform to a different wavelength when it shifts to the normal air outside. Helium --> Air --> Ear

nice hip guitar!!

Everytime I see you posted a new video (because the little bell of my subscription tells me so :D), I know my day is fixed :) In terms of ideas, the only thing I can think of is making each hammer head on a piano be a tiny bow so it would strike the string as if it were a violin. I don't think it's possible, but if ever a person taught me ingenuity and perseverance can overcome any obstacle, it's you! I do think your videos are very encouraging and wholesome, and I wish you the best in whatever endeavor you decide to tackle next :D Greetings from Colombia!

Thank you so much! Yeah I’ve been thinking about this bow piano. There’s actually some attempts on it but that would be using rotating wheels etc. 😄

@@Mattiaskrantz I think Da Vinci himself invented a keyboard instrument with rotating bow like thingies. He called it viola organista if I remember right

So intriguing that your intro music sounds so much like Mark Rover’s theme music.

Try playing the guitar in a helium filled laboratory glove box

I learned as a bassist that I can practice without an amp by playing while leaning against the wall. If you find the sweet spot it resonates pretty well.

5:46 that chord reminds me of the beginning of “A hard Days Night”

Amazing wow

Extra points for being comedic 👍

I’m glad I just discovered this channel It’s so much fun

The physics of vibration, reverberation, harmonics and pitch are awesome and seemingly endlessly fascinating.

Beautiful design my guy, I love the design of it
