Thanks Brad.

I really appreciate your suggestion. It's, frankly, the best one yet. =
One person suggested I place sand bags on the back stringing. Another =
suggeted that I could fool around with the scaling. This could be a very =
expensive proposition, given that I don't make my own bass strings. =
Seems like a bit of a hit or miss approach to me.

Do the couplers actually stay put on the speaking length side of the =
bass strings?=20

Cheers,

  Hi Bruce,=20
  Try some of Scott Jones, Pitch Lock string couplers.=20
  You will be amazed at how they clean up bass string noises in =
bi-chords.=20
  http://www.pitchlock.com

  It took me several years before I would even stop to check them out at =
conventions, etc.=20
  Try it on some wrangly bass bi-chords.=20

  Best regards,=20

    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
