acrosonic, Baldwin

I worked on a piano in a recording studio for this kind of problem. After replacing all the damper springs the problem remained. Noticing the paneling on the walls, I commented that I wish it were easy to move this piano to a different area. The owners eyes lit up, he clapped his hands as a test, and proclaimed,"That's it". 
In this case it was the reverberation in a very "alive" room and the owner was satisfied that it was not the piano at fault.
This is just something else to consider.

OK, for arguments sake, let's say the overring is not due to improper damping of the strings.  What then?  I've had a few of these instruments that just keep going with this kind of deep resonance, after all playing has ceased and all the checks for improper damping show zip.  What else could it be and can it be stopped?
