But why would you not expect the speed to change the timbre? Lower speed = less force of the hammer hitting the strings = less chaotic excitation of the string

But why would you not expect the speed to change the timbre? Lower speed = less force of the hammer hitting the strings = less chaotic excitation of the string during the attack phase = less distortion in the upper harmonics, as well as less sympathetic resonance.
- ziofill 1y agoI expect change in timbre, but not independent of intensity and all that changes with a difference in hammer speed. If all they are saying is that there is a change in timbre tout-court, then it’s trivial. If they’re saying one can change the timbre while keeping the intensity constant, then I have issues.
