Those undamped strings are there to "sing" sympathetically and increase the overall bloom of piano sound. At least that's my understanding of it. It's not just the cost of the extra action, but the whole "piano effect" to be considered.

Even so, sometimes those undamped notes really ring out, perhaps voicing would help calm them. Or maybe the dampers on pianos should extend further into the treble. Giovanni Voltaggio Austin, TX .
