[CAUT] sympathetic vibration in non damper section

[David Vanderhoofven]

Hi Gordon,

I found some sympathetic vibrations in a Baldwin SD at a local college.  I 
finally tracked it down to the tail lengths in the very low tenor (right 
after the bass/tenor break).  Like Susan, I used  just a bit of key bushing 
cloth to mute off the tail section, and the sympathetic vibrations went away.

Good Luck!
