That's an excellent proposal, with the right type of staff! I agree, it
would require a lot of creative work. How far have you gotten with funding
the project?

My guess is that a lot of the modeling work may already be completed by the
major piano design houses. And probably kept very proprietary.

Do you see this as being a public domain model or owned by the university?
How would it be licensed?

Happy New Year!
