Recently the piano teacher mentioned that the bottom octave and a half develops a very harsh percussive sound when notes are repeated at forte or louder. An inital attack sounds okay, and the pinning seems similar to the rest of the instrument, (although I didn't measure the flanges). What can I look for as a cause of this problem? Thanks. Gordon Large, RPT Colby College Waterville, Maine I've observed a similar sound on large Baldwins. I think it is just an overplaying of the note. The string can only take on so much vibration before it starts to distort itself. I don't think it has anything to do with the pinning. And I'm not sure if voicing it down will solve the problem either.
