I tune an SF grand for a big church here. I suspect that the nasty, raspy, ringing, cacophonous, breathy death-rattles from the high treble are due to the undampened string between the bridge rear and the Accujusts (TM). I would like to weave some braid in there. Questions: 1) Should I? (duh) 2)Why did anyone design a piano with ringing waste ends that bear no mathematical relation to the speaking length, beyond what was determined by a convenient place to drill a hitch pin hole in the plate?
