A '''free-free bar''' is an idealized bar that is completely free to vibrate at both ends without external constraints.<ref>http://www.hopestreetmarimba.com/a-driftwood-marimba-on-the-beach-of-improbability/</ref> | A '''free-free bar''' is an idealized bar that is completely free to vibrate at both ends without external constraints.<ref>[http://www.hopestreetmarimba.com/a-driftwood-marimba-on-the-beach-of-improbability/ Hope Street Marimba | ''A driftwood marimba on the Beach of Improbability'']</ref> A [[marimba]] or [[xylophone]] bar can be modeled by this. Free-free bars are highly [[harmonic timbre|inharmonic]], and their vibration is governed by a complex differential equation which can be solved to determine the spectrum of a free bar.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20260816073448/http://www.varg.unsw.edu.au/Assets/link%20pdfs/Beam_vibration.pdf Mauro Caresta.
