High overtone

[Porritt, David]

Paul:

This is out of (or at least on the very edge) of my realm of
understanding but I think you might have to get a different string if it
is a longitudinal mode vibration.  I have Jim Ellis' book about this but
it's at home.  If you haven't found the information by the time I get
home I'll check it.

David and others: if the pitch change technique works or diminishes the
problem, what would be the next step to keep the overtone diminished or
better nearly inaudible?

As someone else mentioned this sounds to me like a longitudinal mode
frequency.  Change the pitch of the note and see if the pitch of the
whine changes or if it goes away.
