The higher octave partial frequencies, 2nd & 4th are more audible in the onset of the Stuart sound, establishing a brighter tone. The 3rd + 7th or 14th prt. are more immediately prominent in the Steinway sound. The bright tone of the Stuart is sustained for longer than in the Steinway sound. The Steinway tonal colour balance changes dramatically at approximately 1s, becoming less bright and clear.
The spectrogram below shows the Steinway fundamental and 2nd partial frequency decayed at a faster rates than Stuart after .5s
The decay curve below illustrates the earlier transition of the Stuart sound into its more settled after-sound oscillation (ii)
The Stuart sound has sustained its bright colour, in a more stable harmonic balance than Steinway.
