These have a distinctive low-frequency tap sound at the start of the note. (Also other kinds of noisy parts, but I think I’ve approximated enough of them with attackDetune and attackNoise.)
Whenever I try to add it, the result sounds off. Is it worth it to keep trying? Does a digital instrument trying to approximate the spirit of a real instrument need these particular sounds?

- initial key noise, finger tap: 290 and 445 Hz, lasts 20–30ms, weak, more audible at low velocity
- later key/hammer noise: 914 hz, 10–20ms attack, strong
- also body, soundboard, and keybed noises: 38, 100 and 250 Hz (xylophone-like?)
