String vibrational motion, was More CC vs RC..yadayada

[gordon stelter]

Also significantly yanks at the bridge, fore and aft.
Generally jostles the bridge, which, in turn, jostles
the board and sound comes out. And that is how they
work. Thbbbt!

     Happy Day!
     Thump

The "key" ( IMHO ) is that this jostling ends up as
disturbed air. NOT as wasted heat energy anywhere in
the piano. And at the desired rate of decay. "Musical
Saws", by the way, do not "sing" until flexed into an
"S" shape.
Question: Is good dynamic range an effect of
soundboard construction, or hammer voicing only ?" &
"If so, How ?"
