You want to know what is the percent of damping due to sound production, and the percent due to friction. But the source is all about measuring the frequency and damping of various modes in air, to reproduce the attack and sustain of a plucked violin. Giving a dense irrelevant reference wastes people's time, so -1. | |

I actually appreciated your view, but just came around some research, which of course directly may not provide answer, may lead to answer. I posted the comment below my post, hence the "seriousness" term was not for you, instead it was with respect to my answer. But anyway, my mistake as it turned that way, which was not my intent, friend. | |
