I can't control your dislike of a simple term. Even though brilliant pianists can do brilliant things, I believe the violin has a bit wider lane to change their sound via technique. Plunking is striking a heavy blow to me. The point I was making is that percussive intensity from pp to ff (which I think of as a plunk), that is less of set of options in total than a violinist has on their instrument. I guess if you included the unusual use of a bow on a piano or hand plucking the notes etc., that expands things, but most people sit or stand and play the notes rather than using implements inside, though I have seen a LOT of experimental approaches over the years at our shows. .Are you bothered by my opinion or just averse to the word plunk? I have heard PLENTY of plunks on a piano (whichever definition you choose), as you must have as well.
