Hey, Ron.  Would you please explain why you feel or think this is a false
assumption? I've been thumpin' on the underside of boards with the damper
pedal depressed for 20 years, and I can definitely pick up a lot of info
about the condition of the board from listening:  loose ribs, loose edges,
lack of resonance (i.e. crown and bearing), the general "voice" of the
board/piano.

Is it another one 'a them psycho-acoustic illusions?

Best, David A.
