FAMILY="SANSSERIF">A student left me a note complaining about an =
after ring on
our Recital Hall 1 year old B. I went to check it out, and sure enough =
in the
6th octave, when notes are release, there is a definite after ring. If =
I hold
my finger on the string, it is still there. The dampers are seated, =
and there
is enough follow through. I found that if I damper out the undampened =
7th
octave notes, the after ring is gone. So the sound I'm hearing is the =
7th
octave ringing through. <BR><BR>I've never really noticed it before. =
But now
that it has been brought to my attention, it is very distinctive. =
Apparently
the strident thinks so too. <BR><BR>Is this just a normal phenomenon =
on
Steinway B's, or is there something that can be done to eliminate this =
problem?<BR><BR>Wim <BR></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
