St=E9phane,

Have you come to the conclusion that it's the bridge because you've =
already tried voicing to solve the problem?  Most likely you have. But =
if not, reducing the hammer weight *a bit* or trimming the sides of the =
hammer shank may help, and of course, needling appropriately. =20

  Hi all !

  Marvellous Bechstein model E (2m75) from 1928.
  Fantastic action, but one problem : the trebble notes are VERY short =
(no sustain).  I know that trebble sustain is not the best thing in a =
Bechstein, but here it is obviously dramatic.  The piano has been =
restored 10 years ago, and the bridge apparently recapped.  The =
restorers have put varnish on the whole bridge.  Does anyone know if =
that varnish could be the cause of no sustain in trebble ?  I am =
considering to recap the bridge (though apart from the varnish, it looks =
kind of perfect), and would like to know your expert advice before =
attempting this.
  thanks
