Check the rubber isolation monts in the engine basket. Are you sure it is RPM related? Could it be an airspeed related airframe vibration?

I know you said it started all of a sudden but do make sure the prop is indexed correctly and check the torque on the engine mount bolts.

I have the C-85, metal prop. Yesterday I checked the mounts and could find nothing obviously loose.
The strange thing is it developed one day as I was flying pattern work, suddenly on one of my down-winds there it was.

As soon as I burn some oil off I will do that ! Today I put 2 oz of MMO in each tank.
Flew it once around but the winds came up, plus I had an Erickson Skycrane in the pattern with me..always a joy...
