timbral: the quality given to a sound by its overtones: as . . . the quality of
tone distinctive of a particular . . . musical instrument

blend: (transitive verb) to combine or associate so that . . . the line of
demarcation cannot be distinguished
    (intransitive verb) to mingle intimately or unobtrusively; to combine into
an integrated whole;
to produce a harmonious effect
 
In other words to control the harmonic content--the overtones--of the various
notes in a way that renders the line of demarcation--the bass/tenor break, or
the transition between wrapped strings and plain steel strings--undetectable to
the ear.
