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 prov! e
to him that they all sound that way.
