Dear Friends, I have been informed that a small Asian (Hazelton/K&C) piano that I had seen two weeks ago has developed a "funny noise," and indeed it has: I can hear over the phone that when C#3 is struck, G#5 sounds, almost as loud as the fundamental. It's only on that note, and "it happened right after you were here." When I was there I tuned, regulated strike and letoff, removed the action and lubricated flange pins with Protek, and eased keys at the front pins. It all seemed unremarkable to me, and I didn't hear any 6th-partial ring on C#3. What have I done? What has the piano done? What can I do? Questions of strike point come to mind, but I don't want to start fooling with that just on a whim, and why would it have changed anyhow. Many thanks for any ideas -- Dorrie Bell
