---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Well, this is kinda a mouthfull. I am sure you are going to get a lot of answers to this and I will leave the meat of this too the others. I would encourage you to read the Five Lectures on Piano Acoustics, edited by the eminent Anders Askenfelt. It is available on the net for direct access now and will provide you with as much piano science as you can digest for starters. I cant find my link to that web page at the moment but will post it either later on tonite or in the course of the day tommorrow. Another great article to read is Inharmonicity of Plain Wire Piano Strings printed in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. Written by Robert Young in 1952.
