Thanks for the question Mutt,

I think quite a few of us here would like to know more about the physics and acoustics of this and you seem to understand them quite well.

Can you explain how that might work? I can't really understand how something that is not vibrating independently can influence any of the harmonic overtones or higher partials that go into dictating the timbre of a strings sounding note?
