Any larger or longer structure is much more flexable than a small structure. I have observed effects in 9' pianos and have wondered the same thing. Big Masons seem to retain their tone well, but I have only seen three 9' Masons and two needed new hammers wo were harder to assess. I would be very interested in the observations of this group.
