  Understood. I can't measure it empirically either. Fortunately we can hear it.

I didn’t say “bloom” couldn’t be measured—I said I couldn’t measure it. That’s not at all the same thing. 
 
More accurately, I have not so far been able to measure it. This is one of those things some people—credible people, not the lunatic fringe—claim to hear but, far as I know, has so far eluded either verification or satisfactory explanation. I await both. It’s not something I’m working on at the moment so I read on with interest.

  Good descriptive of Bloom.
  And no matter it can't be quantified, we all pluck strings and listen to this phenomena. IMO it is the bloom that  gives a piano its distinctive voice.  I looked a t 6 ft Sojin yesterday 15 years. Fantastic singing voice with excellent bloom. I've heard few any better
