after ring revisited

Our mezzo is giving a recital this evening, with the accompanist, who is not 
a member of the faculty here, using our new D. This afternoon, after tuning 
the piano, I went home, because I'm sick with the flu and a bronchial 
condition. At 7 o'clock, the mezzo calls me, and says the low D on the piano 
is "funky" and could I come and fix it. I drive to school, (which is 15 
minutes away), and meet with the accompanist. He says last piece ends with a 
loud d chord, and the low D continues to ring on. I play the note, and guess 
what? The damper stops the note, but it is the overtones that are continuing 
to ring, for at least 1.5 seconds. I tell him there is nothing wrong, and 
it's supposed to be that way. He says he has never heard it that loud and 
that long before on other pianos. I went over to our other D, and played the 
same note, with the same intensity, and had the same result, just to prove to 
him that they all sound that way. 

So if there is nothing wrong, and it's supposed to be that way, how do I 
explain that there is nothing wrong to an accomplished musician?
