Yamaha grands have string braid (felt, not cotton) muting out more than half of
the lowest duplex section.  Some other manufacturers also do this to a greater
or lesser degree.  Does anyone know why?  I mean if you're going to have the
aliquot bridge, why mute it out?  Or if you're going to mute it out, why have
the bridge?
