Topic: D4 vs. Klavins 370 L-mode audibility
From this topic, here are the samples I promised.

The D4 is at the same case length (sans extra notes) as the 370 for an equal comparison.
Notice that the L-mode of MIDI #23 is nearly inaudible in the D4, while the 370 has a prominent minor 28th at the same note, at a lower velocity as well. MIDI #29 was recorded at the same velocity for both instruments, since the L-mode at that note only becomes prominent near 127 for the 370.
The L-mode volume is set as a function of string length, "decaying" (lowering the base volume) as the length is increased. At present I find this behavior unrealistic for string lengths greater than 3.20m, and the attack in the copper strings greatly suffers due to this. The bass bridge is the main focus of this comparison, since the plain wire doesn't suffer from those problems.
