What resonance characteristics does a propeller have, and why?

so there's no point in trying to do anything to throw them out of match
with each other. (Unless you get unlucky; if resonance problems show up
in testing, then you can try re-machining one of the belt pulleys to a

Anything that is solid vibrates, and has resonant frequencies.
Beyond that, I haven't done any detailed analysis.
