[pianotech] Ringing on

[Bert Lumetta]

Laura,
I recently encountered the same ringing and found that the pin on the pedal arm under the piano was missing (the customer had recently moved and the movers lost the pin).  This caused the dampers in the low bass to be raised slightly but just enough to let them ring.  When F6 was played it rang on the bass string (I can't remember which one).  It took me a while to figure that out too.

  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
