It could possibly be that the piano never had enough dampers. On an upright, it is an easy thing to add a few and see if that will quell the "echo". Also, brass damper heads some times will get rid of that problem. I think a "high-end" rebuilder could help the problem. (I've already private emailed that a second opinion is warranted.)
