SD-10 Clarification

[Roger Jolly]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
Hi Kevin,
             I had re read your post yesterday, and went searching for some
note's that I had made after a conversation with Harold Conklin, (25yrs ogo)
I'm a pack rat.
The woven bushing felt was put there to reduce resonant interaction from the
plate and string.
Behind the note I put a series of question marks. Not sure if I understood, or
was just sceptical.
Just some extra trivia.
Roger
