Hi Brian,
It was my understanding that it is the relationships of the frequency of the
longitudinal mode partials to the transverse partials that was the problem,
rather than the amplitude, which is why it's pitch sensitive. But then
again, I don't know much about the longitudinal beasties... hence this post.
In any case, yes! This anyone is certainly interested. Plain strings,
wrapped strings, predicting interference with transverse partials, and/or
ANY other pertinent formulae and informational wunnerfulls you might have
lying about. I'll happily take all the information I can get. Operators are
standing by.

Thanks, 
 Ron
