Sustain: was Virtual Ribs,

[Ric Brekne]

Hi John

This interesting point has been up on occasion and directly relates as 
you say to interpretation of music. In particular the question has been 
raised in respect to the Stuart Piano, but certainly it is not confined 
to that instrument.

To clarify tho.  Whatever sustain levels a piano should or should not 
have,  I am sure we agree there should be some sense of uniformity over 
the entire range of the instrument. And I am equally sure that the 
condition of too little sustain can exist as well. 

Cheers
