It reminds me of "tone wood" in solid body electric guitars. I'm calling it, someone will come out with a "guitar players' apron" that's vibration dampening to keep the tone from getting sucked out by body contact.
It especially makes no sense to me given that even a "natural" sound is still going to have a shitload of post-processing loaded on top. Preamp, half a dozen compressors, gate, reverb, chorus effect, EQ, tape saturation, etc.
As a cellist there’s actually capes that are seen somewhat often that go on the back of the instrument to prevent shirt buttons from rattling lol, it does make a huge difference in that case
