longitude wave voicing

[David Love]

What exactly are longitudinal wave scaling/voicing issues?

Hello List,

Just renewed the list last month and been reading... I'm considering  
a voicing issue in the octave above middle C that sounds like  
harmonic longitude wave coupling.  It is a shimmery sound about 4  
octaves above the fundamental and it "appears" shortly after attack  
and decays along with the rest of the sound.  I can barely hear it  
but it is driving the owner nuts (very sensitive and somewhat  
obsessive......).  The hammers are ready for shaping but the trial  
hammer that I changed didn't seem to change the problem sound.  A bit  
of voicing seemed to reveal the problem even a bit more.

Does this sound to anyone like a problem consistent with a  
longitudinal wave scaling/voicing issue?  Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance,
