  As Jon indicated, it has nothing to do with the strings. It is a =
voicing problem. Unless this is a Steinway, the best way to get more =
sustain out of these hammers is to deep needle at about 10 and 2 =

  To get more equal sustain in the 5th and 6th octaves, as a sample I =
use a note just past where the dampers end. Using a sharp blow, listen =
for the sustain. To get that same sound, I use the sustonuto to hold up =
the last 6 - 10 dampers, and give each note the same sharp blow. I voice =
each hammer to get the same sustain on all of these notes.=20
