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?</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1"><br></font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Wim</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <blockquote><font face="New York" color="#0000FF">Vince Mrykalo<i> RPT MPT</i></font></blockquote> <blockquote><font face="Arial Black" color="#0000FF">Senior Piano Technician</font></blockquote> <blockquote><font face="New York" size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>Crane School of Music</b></font></blockquote> </body> </html>
