At our last chapter (Seattle) meeting, a member demonstrated his new Electronic Tuning Device (ETD) program for Android phones. This program included a basic spectrum analyzer which displays the harmonic placement in a given string. The question is, does a string shift its harmonic placement (i.e. frequency shift), if only for a millisecond, given a soft or hard blow? If so, is this a component as to why electronic pianos sound so tonally "flat" compared to acoustic pianos?
