wow, this has been fun to watch...
an incredible wealth of info here...and sometimes fireworks too, I love this place.
Not even mentioning all the physical things that can/may affect the tone of a stringed instrument, the room dynamics as Ron mentioned, and the temperature and density of the air...our brains all interpret sound in different ways...my brain is different than yours...how can I even explain what I hear to you??? I mean the mechanics of our freakin' ears haven't even been discussed yet...lets talk about how my incus, malleus, and stapes are slightly different shape and mass than yours and let's not even talk about the ear drum and its tension and elasticity...and we still haven't even gotten to the brain yet...
All of this is subjective to each listener even if we can account for all of the physics of the sound before it ever gets to the ears of the hearer...
Tone is in the brain of the beholder...or the underpants, as I've seen around here before...
Just like our discussion of string gauge and tone...my brain thinks that 11's sound better right now...that might actually change...I've got 10's on one guitar right now...and I like it...uh oh, I've got a problem now...
