🦋 Tin-can Cello: wolf tone vanquished
The tin-can cello had a strong wolf tone when playing B, especially noticeable on the A string. Last night I fixed it with an improvised wolf tone eliminator:
My thinking was that the wolf tone eliminators I've seen for sale are just a method of adding a little mass and damping to the afterlength of the string. I thought a fishing weight would do nicely and not have any moving parts to come loose. It works like a charm -- the B on the A string sounds clear and true, and it sounds fine on other strings as well though there is not as much of a stark difference... I don't hear wolf tone anywhere else.
