Re: What is the function of the body?
Bill, Dave has everyright to post. Further, I don't see that he's on a high horse, rather, I think he's frustrated that people aren't understanding the things he's said (repeatedly). Frankly, the physics is pretty advanced and doesn't lend itself to light conversation and there are people putting forth a lot of positions that aren't based on any data that has been previously presented.
I think someone could easily earn a doctoral dissertation out of a study on how the body functions in various stringed instrument systems. The method development alone to investigate them would likely earn a Masters or a PhD. I don't think you're going to find easy answers to the more specific questions of what is the body's function beyond providing a resonance chamber for stringed instruments without getting into a lot of physics involving theory and a lot of math. We're lucky to have Dave here to repeatedly talk about these complex aspects of dynamic systems.
