[pianotech] after ring

[JWyatt1492 at aol.com]

Hello Ed.
 
     Check the strings between  the hitch pins and  the 
bridge.  If one or more of these wires are "singing"
it can be very loud.  The last one I had was an almost
new Steinway  " L ".  He was told to live with it,  it would
probably  " go away ".   O  yea'    fat  chance.  
 
  Have someone continue to strike the offending note
and touch each wire in that area.  If you find it weave 
name board felt thru the wires. Then present your bill.
 

Regards
   Jack Wyatt

I have a problem I haven't been able to solve.  The piano is a Mason  & 
Hamlin, probably 15 years old, and there is a very strong after ring  
especially in the middle range of the piano, from C3-C5.  The dampers are  good, and 
have plenty of pressure on the strings.  I have tried to damp  off all the 
bass strings and the ring is unaffected.  Even when I have  damped off 
virtually the entire piano, it still rings.  The piano is in  good condition, the 
pedals are adjusted correctly.  Everything seems to  be working fine, but I 
can't make any headway on the ring.  Any  thoughts?????
