Oh, I'm absolutely convinced that it's not a "power of suggestion" phenomenon at all, but a real one. My question has more to do with actual cause and actual effect and the relationship of the two. I don't believe you're imagining anything any more than I know that I'm not when I experience the same thing. Our attempts to describe what actually happens to the string and the termination as cause/effect are on-going? We can certainly say that the string has a different shape, and that we experience a tonal difference, but is it simply a string condition difference? That's my question.
