<I think it may be that what you heard in those pianos was a much lower 
tension scale. Those lower tension scales produce less power but 
stronger fundamental which can be heard as greater clarity, a simpler 
and warmer sound anyway. I have a customer with an 1850's Bosendorfer, 
wooden frame, very low tension. The piano lacks the power, of course, of 
a modern piano but has a certain warmth and character to it that is 
quite pleasing.

Exactly my point. My hunch is that there is room here to experiment and 
try to find something akin to a hybrid zone. It ain't all the strings as 
we agree, but the strings are part of the puzzle.  I will continue to 
mess around with the problem.
