[pianotech] What is bloom,

[David Love]

Yes, and I wasn't intending to use them interchangeably.  I'm referring to
them as two separate but possibly related phenomena.  Bloom (JD's damper
effect) and swell (that *sense* that there is an increase in amplitude after
the during the decay.

It may be related, however, if it turns out that both bloom and swell (to
differentiate between the two) have something to do with the amount of
potential energy in the soundboard system and the amount of energy input
required to release it.  

These words are not interchangeable, I think, but are related. JD's question
regarded overall "bloom" and what we have been diverging into is more in the
individual string sustain curve--attack, "swell", sustain (decay). Or so it
seems.
