Summary The “Theory of Residue” explains how the absorption of high frequency harmonicschanges the tone quality and loudness of old violins less than that of modern ones. Indeed, following this theory, the high frequency harmonic components directly contribute to the sensation of fundamental sound. Therefore in new violins, rich in high partial components, the room absorption makes itself felt not only in these, but also in the fundamental component sensation.
