Thanks Dave.
The overtones happen as the hammers hit the strings, and continue while =
the dampers are off the strings. It's a puzzle for me.
Cheers,
Bruce

    Hello everyone.

    Bruce Gibson in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada here.

    I have a client who has a Kawai RX-2. We changed the bass strings to =
GC Piano Co. strings because the client was complaining about obnoxious =
overtones. Many of the offending overtones are still there.=20

    Any suggestions as to how I might go about eliminating them, or at =
very least reducing them. I've tried voicing the hammers...with not =
audible change.

    Look forward to your input.

    Thank you.

  Bruce,

  What I find interesting is that I tune many RX2s, and they are =
probably less troubled by that type of harmonic disturbance than just =
about any other piano I work on.  I'm curious about what it might be.  =
Are the dampers seating properly?=20

  Good luck, keep us posted,

  Dave Stahl
