Beating strings and such

[V T]

Hello Key,

Such equipment exists, but it's expensive; luckily,
you can see the results for free on this web site:

If you attend the PTG conference, you can also see
exciting footage in Don Mannino's class.

You will also find some good reading here:

Greetings,

           This may be a lofty question but here goes:
 Is there any 
manufacturer that makes equipmnet so that a person can
actually see a piano string 
vibrate in order to observe nodes and antinodes? What
does one need to view this; 
a microscope (perhaps that is laughable)?  Would it be
some sort of 
specialized equipment that say a
college/university/research institute would purchase 
from a manufacturer that specializes this type of
physics lab equipment? 

I am reading Hemoltz's On the Sensation of Tone and
other books; On Pitch by 
Rick Baldassin, and Measured Tones by Ian Johnston. I
would like to know more 
about inharmonicity. 

Thanks in advance.
Key
