I used the sustain pedal so all dampers were lifter.
I hear the sound of my fingernail on string as I used it for plucking. Also 
I hear the sound of the note at the fundamental pitch, volume considerably 
reduced compared with hammer blow and it sustains for about half the time, 
possibly a bit longer as compared with a hammer blow.
Reasonably consistent across the capo sections.
Tried the same thing at the tenor agraffe section and it is the same.
