[pianotech] Ringing on

[Laura Read]

Yes, I think I'm going to have to go back to the sustain pedal. I'm feeling
a little dumb myself right now.

 

Thank you,

Laura

Don't suppose it could be a badly adjusted sustain pedal?? I have discovered
this from time to time after looking everywhere else first!! But I am little
dumb sometimes!!

Laura,

 

Check the strings between the hitch pins and the bridge:  if you put your
hand on the strings there, and the ringing stops, then just put in some
braiding.

Especially the bass.

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
