I'd already tried that and didn't like the result.

Well, that has the same harshness in the treble viol that bothers me 
about my own efforts with Audacity -- I'd prefer to have the rumble 
than to lose the "roundness" of the sound. I know that it oughtn't 
have an effect (since it's at a frequency below the fundamental of 
the notes being played), but I hear a major difference in the WAV 
files. Cutting out the rumble means making the result more harsh, at 
least when done with Audacity.

Besides, I'd have to do it for every single track on the recording, 
and I just don't have the time.

BTW, I'm THRILLED that nobody could find my splice. I don't have 
great tools for this kind of thing (I used Audacity to split the file 
into Beginning/End/Middle WAVs and then sewed them back together with 
the Exact Audo Copy WAV editor, which works better for me in that 
regard than Audacity itself). This kind of thing is *much* more 
difficult than I'd ever imagined -- it's quite complicated figuring 
out where the notes begin and end (though the <> shape of viol notes 
make it a lot easier!).

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.
