Re: Can you show me mathematically how it can be done.

I don't have the equations for either of them. Maybe it's the slew rate, who knows. I'm sure the relative coefficients of the Fourier expansions are very different. So is the transient attack as pianos are often considered percussive instruments, the strings being struck with hammers. I've only got one guitar and it's probably not a very good one. OTOH, I've got 3 pianos and one of them is a doozie. The other two are very good...for spinnets (Baldwin Acrosonics.) I'm trying to learn to identify the manufacture of a piano by sound alone. (One I invariably don't like is Yamaha.) Are you doing the same with acoustic guitars? It seems to me this was a much more important instrument in the early days around the time of Vivaldi than it's been in more recent eras...except maybe in the Hispanic world. Funny, Steinway considered his most dangerous competitor in the early days of his business to be Chickering. There's a new book out about Steinways. I heard an interview with the author on NPR but haven't had a chance to check it out in a bookstore yet.

I wish I could take all this as seriously as you do. Perhaps if I had money at stake it might matter. As it is, it all seems rather comical to me. Maybe not to other people, but it does to me. How can people get so worked up over mere machines?
