A few times in the past I have run across the same problem, one on a C7. Notes around the area of A-61 rang sympathetically long after playing stopped. Maybe one note, maybe 2. It did come from the speaking side of the string. My solution was to weave a piece of thread lightly thru the offending strings, inserting it very close to the bridge. The very loose weave stopped the excessive after-ring without diminishing the sound when struck by the hammer. > > Tom Gorley > Registered Piano Technician > On Nov 29, 2011, at 7:30 PM, Greg Newell wrote: > I distinctly remember Yamaha’s like this produced a loud BONG sound upon loud playing that was coming from the stop rail between the dampers and the hammers. > > From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Patrick C.

Normally this area isn't a problem, but on this piano I had to insert stringing braid to quiet it down. > Patrick C.
