Well... I dont know for sure whether or not what you say here is actually true... tho for the moment I will take your word for it. But it sure is the sexiest explanation I've heard to date.

Grin.... this is a bit more out in the woods for me... how does this <<after the fact>> synchonization (which by the way would seem to be dependant upon the relative speeds of the key and hammer being always such, regardless of how hard the player in fact actually plays, always staying synched) give the sensatsion that the fingers actually come in contact with the string ??... that is to say... in what way or sense does the pianist experience this ? > > kind regards, > > Bernhard Stopper Cheers RicB >
