after ring

[David Ilvedson]

I have found that usually these front duplex areas start making noise when the 
hammers get compacted/harder.  Shift the action and see if the noises get 
better...Softer felt... I always pull them out and seat the strings at the termination 
bar leading to the tuning pins, then do some hammer voicing.  It is something that 
might have to be dealt with on a regular basis with that piano but so be it.
