 I haven't tried it. :-)
It is just a thought, that if the customer would like us to try and improve it, we should.
I try to avoid them now, along with the square grands, where my back gets too sore. (too old, and short) :-)
I think it was Joe, that said height helps.

  I have some input into the subject of 'ringing dampers'.
  Some of the North American pianos, of the earlier part of the 20th century, had dampers that were not as efficient also.
  They had terms like resonant whatever. They liked the 'ring', in those days.
  Just because a piano was manufactured, as the birdcage etc., with an after ring, does not mean that we have to stick with that. The customer should not have to put up with this after ring, if they don't like it, just because that is the way the piano was 'meant' to be.
  If we can modify, or reduce this 'noise', then we should.
  This German piano I tuned recently, was a birdcage, Ibach I think, had a minimal after ring, so the birdcage, can obviously be made to have a more efficient damper system."
