high treble ringing

[Richard Brekne]

No guarentees on this kinda problem... but you might try muting the front
duplex to see if that helps... if so then a capo reshape job may be in order.
Another thing is to voice down just a tad... but then you have to be able to
voice the whole piano probably.. if it needs it then great... if not...well
shoot..-
