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.
