So then  why exactly does muting the front duplex kill the tone?
David:
 
If I can parse this question a little, wouldn't it be better asked, what  
does the muting effect? In my experience, no science here, the muting  
dramatically diminished the sustain, but the voice overall remains pretty  much 
the same, except for the consequential sustain curve change. The "noise" of  
the front duplex, the counterbearing segment, is inaudible to an audience, 
very  audible to a player, and the muting of the segment diminishes the 
resonant  "throw" of the piano audibly (this I've experienced several times in 
different  venues with different pianos).
