MOTM

Go play a piano with the sustain pedal depressed. It's essentially the same
thing. Not only to the struck strings sustain, but the rest of the undamped
strings also resonate. In fact, a patent was filed for a reverb system based
on this. I remember reading about the patent just after I'd come up with the
idea myself, probably in the early '80s.
