Would you please explain why you feel or think this is a false assumption? I've been thumpin' on the underside of boards with the damper pedal depressed for 20 years, and I can definitely pick up a lot of info about the condition of the board from listening: loose ribs, loose edges, lack of resonance (i.e. crown and bearing), the general "voice" of the board/piano. Is it another one 'a them psycho-acoustic illusions? Best, David A.
