How would the bang of a spoon sound if the sound was being conducted by copper wire?

Question

I have already done part of the experiment with string as the conductor but I can't find any copper wire for the second part. The instructions are to tie a metal spoon to a length of copper wire, with loops for your fingers at the ends. Place the loops on your fingers, put your fingers in your ears and sort of bang the spoon against a wooden object. With the string it sounded like a church bell....does anybody have an idea of what it would sound like with the wire? Thanks!!!! :) -ry
p.s. i give best answers!!! :)

Answer 1

I am astounded that you heard anything with the string, which is poor conductor and you had your fingers in your ears, thus trapping the sound outside your ears.
In any case, the easiest way to get copper wire is to use bell or telephone wire and strip off the insulation. If you don't have the yards of left over that I do, you can buy a small coil of bell wire from hobby stores, hardware stores, home centers, and Radio Shack type stores. Grocery and drug stores may even have some on their housewares aisle with the extension cords and replacement outlets.

Answer 2

cut one of the cords off your mother lamp, and strip out the copper, and when you get caught tell her that your little brother did it.
