Physically modeled synthesis can adjust piano characteristics without resampling

Evidence

By far the most interesting and flexible means of digitally simulating a piano is to physically model the piano, accounting for the physical processes that generate the sound. Significant computer power is required. One advantage of this approach is the ability to adjust many characteristics of the piano, without having to sample many real pianos under different paying conditions. — Eric J. Heller, Why You Hear What You Hear- An…, 1843
