I think that was in Immortal Beloved?
I should watch that movie again! Good excuse!![]()

Having used the screw driver on the motor method over the years, I can confirm that you can definitely identify the frequency of vibrations. So it's possible Beethoven used bone conduction in the manner described.quote:Originally posted by Nina:
Hmmm. Bone conduction is a "thing," but it wouldn't directly translate into pitch without having to learn to associate very small changes in vibration to a particular pitch.
