Tom,

Some nice Aeolian tones there. :-) Seriously though, try inserting a yard o=
r
so of "bungee" elastic in the kite line just below the kite to reduce the
transmission. You should be able to test the effect on the ground with the=

kite line pulled tight and twanging it.

I assume the kite will be acting as a sounding board for anything coming up=

the line.

A possible alternative would be a section of "woven" nylon cord with the
lengthwise fibers pulled out so that it is slightly stretchy.
