Good descriptive of Bloom.<br>
And no matter it can't be quantified, we all pluck strings and listen to this phenomena. IMO it is the bloom that gives a piano its distinctive voice. I looked a t 6 ft Sojin yesterday 15 years. Fantastic singing voice with excellent bloom. I've heard few any better</span></div>
