Hello List: How can the reflecting of wave energy back into the string from a bearing point(s) be good? When waves on the water strike a termination, such as a beach or seawall, they reflect back offshore forming second opposing wave train which messes everything up for quite a distance offshore. We sailors call that a "confused sea". Wouldn't waves reflected around in a piano string do a simular thing? Can a piano bridge which floats with the strings respond favorably to a confused wave pattern? Forgive me for a dumb question, but how can this work? -Mike Jorgensen RPT
