[pianotech] Yamaha p22

[J Patrick Draine]

Hi Marshall,
I tuned a P22 this morning, and noted the last damper was D6. On Yamahas
the last damper is cut so that one of the strings isn't dampened.
The sustain of notes above this point are supposed to be comparatively
weak, but sometimes the sustain is stronger than neighboring notes. It
should be possible to voice the louder/greater sustain notes' hammers to
blend in. Sometimes regulation (especially letoff) could be the culprit.
As for the notes below D6 (like that A5) It is also possible the dampers
are damaged or misaligned, or that damper spoon regulation needs to be
corrected.
Good hunting,
Patrick Draine
