Hi all,
 
Dean Garten uses 2 or 3 small narrow bean bags to mute off=
 sections/areas. It helps you find problems and works well to=
 temporarily mute the upper strings while tuning. Before=
 threading braid this is a quick way to diagnose and it really=
 does aid in tuning to =93shut off=94 the upper section.

I think I'll start with stringing braid in the duplex in the mid=
 and upper range (not the top section).  

Don't forget to investigate the backlength of the long tenor=
 strings. 
If you pluck them and hear the same sounds as the after-ring they=
 may 
be contributing to it. 

If you wrap a whole bunch of the waste lengths on the piano you=
 can 
really gut the character of the sound. There's a happy medium=
 there 
someplace.
