Note A4 Partial Sec sustain Vol units Sec sustain Vol units 1 4.46 11.26 4.46 15.36 2 4.04 4.26 4.32 13.28 3 4.32 4.60 4.46 9.03 4 2.51 1.76 4.04 3.90 5 3.48 2.33 3.90 5.71 6 3.76 1.95 3.62 4.89 7 2.65 1.84 3.90 2.01 Note A5 1 2.23 3.32 2.23 10.28 2 1.76 0.84 1.86 4.67 3 1.02 0.71 1.95 4.22 4 1.30 0.86 1.30 3.78 5 0.56 0.15 0.30 4.46 The above is from a new set of C3 hammers On the left very bright. Right is after initial steam voicing. The firgures were improved further after finish voicing. Note the ratio of the amplitude with the octave. Hope this helps.
