List,

Does anybody have a formula for determining the longitudinal mode
frequencies of a wound piano string?  I just re-read Conklin's article at
the "Five Lectures..." site, and listened to the demos.  I'd like to learn
more about how string scales are calculated to avoid longitudinal mode
problems.

Conklin mentions his 1970 patent, but doesn't give a patent number. 
Anybody have more info on this?

thanks
