Granted any such change is going to have an influence... but I still 
find it odd that the change in the sounding of the piano was so 
pronounced, and carried so far into the strings sustain.  I've heard 
some rather mystical sounding explainations... like there is more air 
space between the string and hammer.... but thats a bit difficult to 
swallow. Couldnt be a psychological affect... because all were able to 
pick out the changed notes without difficulty.

Its a stickler for sure... but it definantly makes a change in sound.
