I was back about 15 feet or more from the mic to get lots of the room
in the sound...

Were you getting a fast flutter echo between two parallel walls?

Try it again, but play more diagonally across the room, with the mic a
lot higher or lower then the instrument and not exactly opposite it.
You could even try heaping large angular junk (tables & upturned
chairs) against parts of two *adjacent* walls.

Didn't sound like an acoustic effect to me because it is only apparent
during one part of the recording. I'd expect any audible acoustic
effects to be present throughout the recording (albeit with frequency
dependent severity)

As much as I'd like to blame it on something else, I don't see how.
The mic was in an off-center spot in a combination great room &
kitchen area and the surrounding surfaces are all very irregular and
utterly dissimilar. Vaulted ceiling, carpet, bookshelf, couch, a large
part of the one long wall there is on one side of the area is taken up
by blinds and across from that is the kitchen with different angled
walls, counter, etc. and also an entrance way with a wall that also
intrudes into the air space. None of the sides of the room are
anything like the other. Not far behind the mic is an open door into a
bedroom.

Sounds as though flutter echo can't be the problem, then. In any case,
one handclap will tell you for certain.
