All,
	I have a customer with a Yamaha C2 with an interesting problem.
Most of the notes in the mid to upper range have a high harmonic
after-ring.  Since the duplex is open from the mid-range up, I put some
tape on it to see if that was the culprit.  It had little effect.
Finally, I taped off the speaking length of the notes above where the
dampers end.  The after-ring was totally gone.  Obviously, I can't put
stringing braid in the speaking length of the top octave and a half -
any suggestions?  I'm sure all pianos have some amount of this, but it
seems particularly distracting on this piano.  The piano doesn't seem
overly bright - but would voicing it down a little be the only way to
reduce the excitement of those upper open strings?  Thanks for any help
on this.
