This is Richard Strang, from Panama. I hope this email finds you all in good
health.
   I have ran into several pianos that all have the same problem, which I
believe is caused by something that may require major repairs, but I am at a
loss as to what the real problem is. The problem is this. You can play all
the keys to check all the notes, and you'll come to a section of notes that
won't play. The hammer hits the string, but the only sound it makes is,
BONK! The strings do no resonate as they should. You can pluck the strings,
and they sound okay. You can hold the damper off the strings, but when the
note is played, the only sound it makes is, BONK! It sounds almost as if the
hammer is hitting wood, instead of the string. This is only in a section of
notes, and in the case of the U1 I inspected today, it was a little over an
octave's worth of notes in the upper tenor section, just before the treble
break. All the bass and all the treble was okay.
   Is this a problem with the bridge somehow? I have seen this problem where
only two or three notes are affected, and another piano where the entire
tenor section was dead, and I have had no solution. I feel bad that I have
studied and been in the practice for so long, but have no solution to this
problem. Can someone help me out? Thank you.



 Richard Strang
