Troubleshooting Vertical problem

..'morning Class.

Baldwin Hamilton is the latest victim here..right at the treble break(G5),
there is a decidedly dead sound from G5 to C6..almost sounds like the
hammers are blocking the strings..when I decided that wasn't the problem, I
looked for a piece of paper hanging around the bridge area that would cause
this dead-type sound..nothing there..I thought it might be late lifting
Dampers..not the case, because with the Damper pedal depressed, the sound
still exists.

Could it possibly be a pressure bar problem?..I did not have anything
stronger than a regular screw driver with me to test that theory, but any
and all theories are welcomed here. The Piano sounds fine outside of this
one section.

thanks,
