---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment One of our piano profs complained that F6 on her B was not damping. She has been playing this piano, and other B's, not to mention D's and other pianos, for I don't know how long, (she's about 75 years old). But now, all of a sudden, she complains that the note is not damping. Go figure. But this kind of got me interested in something. I looked at other pianos, from small spinets to concert grands, and noticed that dampers end anywhere from D6 - G6. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason or pattern where they end. So my question is, is there a "rule of thumb," or something much more sophisticated, to tell an scaler or piano engineer where to stop the dampers?
