greatly shortened fold which implies that the rapid change of muscle
mass has a primary causative effect. >>
lloyd,
in imitating a door creaking (actually a valuable exercise seth riggs
has his students doing) covering the same range as a yodel, at the same
speed, there is no break as there is in a yodel. as the change in
longitudinal tension is roughly the same (i assume) in door creaking and
yodeling, the break in yodeling would have to be a change in medial
compression not longitudinal tension.
