[pianotech] New stuff at the convention?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. 

What I'm basically saying is that most notes played are of a very short duration, which do not last long enough to hear if there is much sustain or not. How does a harpsichord make that any different? I'm not trying to be smart aleck. I just don't understand your point.

OK, play your 98% piece on harpsichord and see if you hear any difference.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here.?

I'm guessing that 98% of the music played on a piano last less than a fraction of a second. 1.9% of the music is held for maybe a second or two. At the end of a piece of music, the final chord might last 3 or 4 seconds. So the only time we would hear the real affect of an agraffe and bridge with the tone lasting 5 or 6 seconds, is once in a great while. So why all the fuss?

OK, be easy one me.
