As is soundboard impedance and response, particularly in high 
panel compression designs in areas of the world exhibiting 
weather variations (seasons).

I think of voicing as damage control - the last chance to 
(temporarily) bring what the string scale, soundboard, and 
hammers have to give you, together into an acceptable tone 
production committee. As is typical of committees, not all the 
active members are working toward the same end result and you 
may never know why. This complicates matters somewhat.
