Recently the piano teacher mentioned that the bottom octave and a half develops a very harsh percussive sound when notes are repeated at forte or louder. An inital attack sounds okay, and the pinning seems similar to the rest of the instrument, (although I didn't measure the flanges). What can I look for as a cause of this problem? Thanks.
