A selectively tunable vibration absorber includes a support member having an outer surface, and a selectively tunable element mounted relative to the outer surface of the support member. The selectively tunable element is selectively adjustable to attenuate vibrations in a selected frequency range perceived by the support member in a selected direction. A mass is supported by the selectively tunable element.
