strange noise

[Michael Jorgensen]

Hi Dick,
    Check to see if the soundboard is glued firmly at the perimeter, and
also the downbearing, crown, and that the bridges are actually glued and
screwed firmly to the board.  A loose board can cause a short-lived
rapid decay dead transient tone full of gigantic but slow frequency
false beats coupled with an indistinct watery tone.
