The place theory of hearing considers the basilar membrane to be a series of stretched strings with different resonant frequencies. We have attempted to enhance the students understanding of this concept using a small group demonstration with a sonometer. Our results show that ninety five percent were of the opinion that this demonstration enhanced their understanding, ninety percent opined that this demonstration helped review this topic. We conclude that our model is suitable for resource limited settings and can be used for small group discussions.
