[sdiy] piano spectrum analyzer

[harrybissell]

well of COURSE this crazy idea will not work... because the strings can
all be
excited into harmonic motion as well...

you might want to use spherical resonators...which are VERY prone to
exciting only
a fundamental resonant more.

MAybe you will write a book detailing your efforts... might I suggest
"On the sensation of Tone" as a possible working title :^P
