While your words are true it wasn't as good as the lower registers but when it was first tuned at a-440 there was nothing ,nada ,zip. The solution in my mind is to scale for A-440 & moved the bridge around as much as possible to accommodate it.. Had I done this note 85 was at least 58 or 60 mm or more & the increased tension would have helped greatly.It was quite a few years ago & I'd do it differently now. Live & learn! I will say that in spite of its' weaknesses when I had some real pianist play it ,the weaker treble octaves were rather camouflaged and not horribly objectionable. The string lengths up there were so short . What were they thinking?You Know. Dale Bill Schull wrote Actually I was very disappointed in the top 2.5 to 3 octaves of the piano you rebuilt, when tuned to A-457, this is why I am concluding that A-457 isn't the solution (and may have been part of Steinway's attempt to solve the problem). Not only did the sound improve enough (it DID improve), but the numbers were still not right when running the numbers on PScale. Unfortunately I don't have access to those numbers right now...
