The continuous tone and its harmonics, (if the instrument can do a continuous tone,) comes third even when it is present.This is unsurprising given percussion instruments, pianos, harpsichords and harps which don't do a continuous tone at all. And they still can be distinguished, even within a type, eg. Ziljan cymbals against lesser makes.
Amplifiers, and systems, need matching rise and decay times to get timbre right.
There's more! Much expression is in the attack and decay. ? Where the decay can be managed by the player.
Starting and stopping.
