Theobald Wolfe Tone, posthumously known as Wolfe Tone (Irish: Bhulbh Teón; [1] 20 June 1763 – 19 November 1798), was a revolutionary exponent of Irish independence and is an iconic figure in Irish republicanism.

A wolf note, or simply a "wolf", [1] is an undesirable phenomenon that occurs in some bowed-string instruments, most famously in the cello. It happens when the pitch of the played note is close to a particularly strong natural resonant frequency of the body of the musical instrument . [ 2 ]

A wolf tone is a peculiar acoustic effect that occurs on certain notes of stringed instruments, particularly cellos and, to a lesser extent, violins and violas. It manifests as an unstable, fluctuating sound that can be difficult for the player to control.

A cello wolf tone produces an annoying thump-thumping sound in the cello. Here's what a wolf tone is and how to get rid of it.

I know it sounds like the weak evasion of a violin maker to say that every instrument has one, but it’s true. It’s a fundamental aspect of the way the box resonates when you bow the string. At a certain point the resonation changes—and that point is the wolf tone.

wolf tone, phenomenon of resonance typically heard in bowed stringed instruments, particularly the cello, in which the vibrational frequency of a string being played and the fundamental vibrational frequency of the body of the instrument are very similar.

A wolf tone (also just called a “wolf”) is a note that cannot be played properly on a stringed instrument. It happens most commonly when musicians play quietly, which is to say when the bow is applying very little pressure.
