longitudinal waves

[Mark Kinsler]

So there's a program that'll simulate the behavior of a stretched string, 
non-linearities and all?  I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm 
certainly impressed.  And the recording and simulation sounded alike (though 
the attack, etc. was different.)

I'm sitting here wondering how you could measure longitudinal waves on a 
string separately from the transverse waves.  It's easy enough to detect 
motion in a plane perpendicular to the string, but how would you isolate 
longitudinal waves?

I wish those two spectra had some labels on them.  I couldn't figure them 
out.
