sound box
Instrument's hollow body
A sound box is the hollow resonating chamber of a stringed instrument, such as the body of a guitar or violin, that amplifies and enriches the vibrations of the strings.
The shape, size, and materials of the sound box significantly affect an instrument's tone and volume.
Early phonographs also used a sound box—a diaphragm mechanism that converted record groove vibrations into audible sound before electronic amplification existed.
