Hi David, For what it's worth, some of the Steinway techs use lacquer on the strings to mute out some of those unwanted 'harmonics'. They don't thin it so it's kind of thick, maybe a little thinner than honey. Just brush a little onto the 'offender'. Even if you use black lacquer, it's almost invisible, (honest). Just my two cents. Hope you all are having a great weekend! Brian T. Quarryville, Pa.
