In looking for more "sparkle" (or something) in the tenor section, I finally noticed the braiding and removed it. Of course a sympathetic ringing immediately appeared which I was able to easily track down to one duplex segment on one note (G#4, I think). I muted off that string segment and the ringing ceased. The overall improvement was not dramatic and may well have been imaginary, but removing the braiding did seem to bring a bit more "life" to the tone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric Wolfley, RPT Head Piano Technician Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music University of Cincinnati ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: Mark Cramer [SMTP:cramer@BrandonU.CA] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2000 10:14 AM To: CAUT (E-mail) Subject: Overnite relief End of February I aksed for (overnite) advice on how to deal with sympathetic ringing in the treble section of our recital hall "D." With the Egré competition here last week, I finally found time to thoroughly trouble-shoot the problem. Which is kind of like saying "while being chased by a doberman, I finally found time to work on my running technique!" :>) The ringing is (was) from the tenor rear duplex section, A3 was singing along with A5, etc., as I think Newton had suggested. Braiding the section off solved this problem, without noticeable effect (to my hearing) to the overall resonance of the piano. Thanks for all who offered suggestions. Kind of seems a shame to silence this section of the piano though. It's only doing what it's supposed to, just perhaps a bit too efficiently.
