I believe it would be practical to squash a specific resonance in an audio setup with a tuned counter-measure, such as is done with some skyscrapers in seismically-active areas. The concept of port-tuned bass reflex speaker enclosures is similar. Your tuning-fork experiment appears to be along these lines.
As I said earlier, damping is ineffective if adding mass with the damping material fails to quell the resonance, but simply shifts it to where it does more harm. However, if multiple resonances are present, it may be impractical to treat each one individually. Thus, the ideal of the optimally self-damped hardwood.
