Is this in any way related to the amplitude peak of the vibrating string after attack? The combined wave forms of the string (strike to agraffe or capo, and strike to bridge) meeting to create the amplitude peak? I reference only the 5 lectures here; I have no personally developed science behind the question. P In a message dated 3/17/2011 12:12:56 P.M.

Your explanation nicely accounts for the change in the rate of decay that pianos exhibit following the initial chaotic attack but I fail to see where any extra energy is coming from to "swell the tone." It is this "swelling" that I have not seen measured. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
