Re: ATM Briefcase string scope

[mike coslo <mjc5@psu.edu>]

	I would not be too surprised if a string scope would be *very*
susceptable to vibrations. They bear a striking resemblance to a new-age
viola. The tighter the string, the more likely one will have this
problem. Perhaps adding some dampers to all the tubes and strings might help.
