If physics, or physicists for that matter, start to meddle with matters like that we'd better put our lutes aside :) Players who play with a beautiful sound, I suppose, just do it. So you'd better ask them how. I've answered your original question which is a kind of "down to earth physics" one. And if my answer doesn't satisfy you, I do apologise.
