longitudinal mode vibrations

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

Hi Richard:

Didn't you read his suggestion about dragging your fingernail lengthwise
over the bass string coils or wraps in order to clearly hear the 
longitudinal mode? On plain string in the Tenor section, you can hear the
longi. mode somewhere in the 7th octave. It is easier to hear if the strings
have a little rust on them.
