RE: Overnite reliefThe tenor section is braided for that very
reason...overring.  Braiding in this section will not affect the tone
whatever...the "whom nobody seems to know" was the factory worker at
Steinway!

We have a S&S 'D' onstage here that was braided in that tenor section (by
whom nobody seems to know). In looking for more "sparkle" (or something) in
the tenor section, I finally noticed the braiding and removed it. Of course
a sympathetic ringing immediately appeared which I was able to easily track
down to one duplex segment on one note  (G#4, I think). I muted off that
string segment and the ringing ceased. The overall improvement was not
dramatic and may well have been imaginary, but removing the braiding did
seem to bring a bit more "life" to the tone.

  End of February I aksed for (overnite) advice on how to deal with
  sympathetic ringing in the treble section of our recital hall "D."  With
the
  Egré competition here last week, I finally found time to thoroughly
  trouble-shoot the problem.  Which is kind of like saying "while being
chased
  by a doberman, I finally found time to work on my running technique!"  :>)

  The ringing is (was) from the tenor rear duplex section, A3 was singing
  along with A5, etc., as I think Newton had suggested.  Braiding the
section
  off solved this problem, without noticeable effect (to my hearing) to the
  overall resonance of the piano.

  Thanks for all who offered suggestions.  Kind of seems a shame to silence
  this section of the piano though.  It's only doing what it's supposed to,
  just perhaps a bit too efficiently.
