The notes are consecutive, and it's something that I hear on all the B's I check, right in that section.</div><div><br></div><div>So, if the noise goes away when I detune the note by a semitone, does that mean it is or isn't a longitudinal mode effect? Or does it indicate something else entirely? I also tried a smaller hammer from higher up and the noise was exactly the same).</div><div><br></div><div>Allen</div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 7, 2008, at 3:29 PM, <a href="mailto:BobDavis88@aol.com">BobDavis88@aol.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <font id="role_document" face="Bookman Old Style" color="#000000" size="3"> <div>Allen Wright writes:</div> <div> </div> <div>Has anyone working on Hamburg Steinway B's (or similar instruments) <br>encountered shimmery high partial noises (quite noticeable) at the <br>level of 4 octaves up (perhaps at the major seventh pitch or <br>thereabouts), in the area around E3 in the plain wire tenors?
