it just tells me the frequency of the resonant modes of that top. Combined with the weight, it can give a numerical value for stiffness. Sometimes it can reveal asymmetries in stiffness. But it tells me no more about the tone of the bass than other measurements such as the width of the plates. For the moment it is just another measurement to keep track of and compare with other basses, but its fun to do and looks cool.
