---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I'm having a tough time with an SD Baldwin at Colby College (in Maine). E6 (the first note above the dampers) rings quite noticeably after playing loud chords. It took me a while before I figured out it was the speaking length causing the problem. (I muted all the duplex sections hoping they were also affecting the ring, but they are not the problem.) Any ideas on how to eliminate the ring without negatively affecting the sound of E6 when it is needed? I'm stumped. One idea I thought of was increasing the downbearing of that one note (it has accu-just hitch pins) figuring more downbearing might lessen ring time. But I didn't actually do this, because I don't really know what other problems this might cause. The only other thought I had was to require a page turner to have a fingertip ready during recitals. (don't think I'll suggest that one) Another thing that puzzles me is why this wasn't noticeable before. (Either by me, or any of the pianists) I don't think I just didn't notice it before. What could change in the instrument to make this start happening. Thanks to anyone who may have thoughts on this.
