What is especially interesting is that these experiments are so low-tech. They could be easily repeated in any college with two or three pianos in a recital hall. Actions rebuilt with current understandings of geometry might change the results, as could the range of hammers available.
I'd like to know if the results are consistent!

Yes, that St. Petersburg group was way ahead in theory but they sure built lousy pianos.
