(1)Top plate(T-2,T-3) keeps its powerful and clear vibration during over 3 seconds after a C(66Hz) pizzicato, and similarly the upper part of the tailpiece(TP1) keeps vibration around 3 seconds.

Meanwhile the bridge(BR) weakens at around 2.5 seconds. We can image a scene that the cello body is still resonant in the echo even after the fading of bridge, strings and tailpiece/endpin. Such behavior will probably be familiar to violins or violas.

(2)Tailpiece(:TP1) keeps characteristic flat 4-beat. However in this case, the bridge(BR) is less effected and the beat-pattern is similar to the top plate. Bridge(and also strings) seems to be acting as a member of top plate group.
