Hello Dave Doremus
There's a strange sound comes out of our Yamaha C6 in the Pit. It is quite
low in volume and none of our reps have noticed it. I found it only happened
when playing the first few notes in the top break. It turned out to be
sympathetic vibrations in the "duplex" stringing of the middle break. That's
just about where the listing cloth from the tenor break stops. If I put
listing in that duplex the strange noise stops. Goes to show that the duplex
stringing wasn't arranged to be really tunable. Just a thought - if all else
fails...:-)
Regards
