  Subject: [pianotech] Ringing on


  I am working on an old Haines Bros. 5' grand with lots of issues, including significant cracks in the soundboard, but I don't have a clue why the sound is ringing on. I have regulated the dampers, which apparently were replaced a few years back, but even when I put my hand down on the strings I can't stop the sound. Any ideas?

   

  Thank you,

  Laura



      Have the tail (waste) lengths of the strings, particularly in the bass and low tenor, been muted out with string braid?
