Resonance

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Philippe,
Did the owner play violin or some other instrument that they used the piano to tune to and play with?
Where I work, it is always the Bb that gets knocked out and brighter over time, as the felt packs down sooner. caused by hammering the note while tuning to it.

  Hi, 

  About newbies (cfr other threads ;-) ) I've observed something curious 
  on my piano which I reminds, is a very old one with wooden frame etc...
  It's previous owner had it serviced and tuned, not long before I got it, so
  it could be an element of information in my question...

  What I observed is that A3 or A4 was brighter than the other notes, which I
  first suspected as an need for voicing the hammer, but then i observed
  that the A's above were brighter too... So, as I felt hard to believe the Idea 
  of an illness specific to A strings, I wondered if the problem really from the 
  hammers, or could instead come from a specific resonance of the piano 
  itself on that frequency and the harmonics...

  Your opinions ? possible ? not possible ? should I suspect the previous 
  work ?

  Philippe

  Ps : I ask the question, because currently, I'm more interested in learning
  the "tuning" part, and I will attach myself to learn the "voicing" part later.
