Steinway damper ringing problem

[Allan Gilreath]

I'm sure the honorable gentleman has very dry palms. <grin> This is the
area I like using the "trouble shooting stick" mentioned in an earlier
post so that I don't have to touch the strings any more than necessary.
Not picking on you Ron, they just oxidize quickly enough in our area
(and Wim's) as it is. Besides, I can reach a wider area with my stick or
turn it so that only one string is damped. Sounds like I need to take
some pictures.

Yes. Lay hands on the bass strings and see if the noise stops. It's not 
that unusual for that high partial ring to be coming from damper leakage

two octaves down.
