[CAUT] The fundamental - Where is it?

[Donald McKechnie]

Thanks Fred, I'll look for this book.

For anyone - would a good spectrum analyzer find the A0 fundamental?  
At least on a concert grand? Years ago Chris Robinson brought a  
spectrum analyzer to conventions for one of his classes but I do not  
remember if he used it to look at the lowest notes. Quite pricey as I  
recall.
