Regarding this other part of the discussion that’s latched onto this thread, how would you describe the physical properties that characterize what is often referred to as “bloom” as JD has been asking. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Delwin D Fandrich Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 1:27 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Tuning the duplex sections Actually “sustain rate” should be “decay rate.” The rate at which the sound energy dissipates whether into the bridge or elsewhere. In general a note with a high decay rate will also have a short sustain time but this is not always the case. Sometimes the energy in certain partials—usually the higher partials—can decay at a rapid rate while energy in other partials—usually the fundamental and lower partials—can continue sounding for a reasonable amount of time.
