This could very well be the case. I've noticed that the treble 
strike point target seems to get wider with a more efficient 
soundboard design, and elimination of a tuned front duplex in 
favor of a quieter shortened one. I'm not yet sure which of 
these changes accounts for the difference, but the difference 
is real.
