"what is best" out and get to > more dispassionant specifics. > > RicB "dispassionate" is key here. We Amerikans like to pick sides and slug it out. ( For some stupid reason. Hormones in cattle feed getting into the drinking water, I suspect ). As much as the subject in hand, this concerns me. I don't believe any "scientific" analysis of how piano tone is created will ever "prove" anything, because the instrument is simply too complex, with too many factors at work to reasonably measure thenm all. We do, however, have simple laws of physics to regard, such as the fact that vibrations travel more readily through a dense material. So, unless someone just likes to argue, why propose that ANY part of a piano be made out of spongy, sound-absorbent stuff -------- just "in case " ------ ( Hahahahaha! )??? So, why not rejoice at how much more reliable tonally hard, rigid case pianos seem to be, and accept that MAYBE, just maybe, the folks that made them had a reason for doing it this way ?????
