Thanks for the independent measurements which confirm the delayed peak but measure a different delay time. Here is a waveform that I recorded https://ttt.ph.utexas.edu/raw_waveform.jpg The delay till the peak amplitude is clearly visible. > That's a lot > faster than a tenth of a second, Yes, by a factor of five. > but my instruments have very thin > soundboards. It would be interesting to see exactly what accentuates the effect. Possibilities: soundboard, playing technique, type of string, whether other strings are damped, string tension, room acoustics, whether the string is open or fretted, ....
