Herb, I am a little puzzled by what you write. Guessing at what you might be doing, I would say that your fundamental in roughly at 300Hz. Observing a frequency in that range for 0.3 seconds gives you about 100 oscillations. With 100 oscillations, the accuracy of the measured frequency cannot

Also, you would expect a brief transient regime before the string settled into a nominally stable state (overlaid by ongoing decay as energy is gradually lost). During the transient period, I wouldn't expect a Fourier spectrum to be terribly meaningful, or at least it would be more difficult to int

We just got a few books from Amazon, including the new J.K. Rowling book Beedle the Bard. On page 45 the drawing at the top of the page is a lute - it has something like 5-6 strings and about 8 pegs. I don't think the accompanying story has anything to do with lute music. Nancy

I think the calibration data are important. We are just seeing a picture of a sound with no reference data to compare it to. I would want to pop a couple of waves through to test the equipment, square in, square out, etc. dt At 09:39 AM 1/2/2009, you wrote: >Also, you would expect a brief transi
