Oh, I'm not claiming it's either easy or an equivalent problem. It 
certainly seems that sampling such interactions on a piano is 
somewhat more deterministic than an acoustic drum kit. After all, 
piano strings are also supposed to be pitched just so, of a known 
length, struck in a given place, arranged a known distance apart, and 
so on. However, (with respect) smarter minds than mine or yours will 
have worked on this and if they can get even close (perhaps just 
modeling the interactions within a single piece of percussion) then 
groovy things may be in the offing. For example... what do most of us 
complain about most? Cymbals, I'd guess. It doesn't seem to be beyond 
the realms of hope that they can make a better job there using these 
sorts of techniques.

Here's hoping. Well, actually probably not. If it is that good, I 
won't be able to afford it!
