If I'm understanding correctly, this would help a string instrument vibrate more freely? It should play more responsively? Or, at least, not dampen itself (or at certain frequencies)?
The paper was not written written for a bunch of egg head scientists with multiple PHDs. It contains very little theory and it mostly deals with how to do it. I doubt if you would have any problem understanding it.

As to what A0-B0 matching does, I covered some of that in the paper and you can find more information by doing a Google search on "Carleen Hutchins A0-B0" as I suggested in another thread. Sorry, but that is as far as I'm going to go with this.
