As an aficionado of sources of unusual sounds, I commend your wife’s ambition! My shop bought TT produces a large number of closely spaced harmonics, which one would not guess from its raucous sound. My T.T., 18cm long, is loudest at ~450Hz.

This is the optical equivalent of an anechoic chamber. Most instructive! Tempted to buy a small pot of Musou Black to experience the effect it has on obliterating surface features.

A bit of physics to round off an enjoyable Easter Sunday meal of slow cooked lamb shoulder, ratatouille and broad beans & feta: a well-made espresso that exhibits the allasonic effect (aka hot chocolate effect)
