A method and arrangement for providing damping of undesired modes of piezoelectric vibrators is disclosed that eliminates the tedious and often inaccurate methods of known mass-loading techniques. Instead, the arrangement relies on physically altering a controlled amount of the piezoelectric material located at a predetermined point to effect the selective damping needed to minimize the undesired responses and to minimally interfere with the desired mode of operation.
