Hi Mike,
I find the doink sound usually is more pronounced than the aging wire =
sound and is sometimes related to the position of the unison on the =
bridge in relation to the ribs. Sometimes voicing in combination with =
string seating and adding weight to a spot on the bridge between the =
ribs will increase the mass and make some improvement.
Touching the tip a brass rod to different places along the bridge may =
identify where weight could be added. Jiffy weights are what I use and =
are easily moved to find correct location then a spot of glue to keep =
them from becoming loose.

      Does it have something to do with brittleness of wire after its =
been in use?  Work hardening, etc?

      If anyone has an idea, I'd be interested to understand why one =
perfectly good=20
      brand new string vibrates better than the one right next to it.=20

    As Jon indicated, it has nothing to do with the strings. It is a =
voicing problem. Unless this is a Steinway, the best way to get more =
sustain out of these hammers is to deep needle at about 10 and 2 =
o'clock.=20

    To get more equal sustain in the 5th and 6th octaves, as a sample I =
use a note just past where the dampers end. Using a sharp blow, listen =
for the sustain. To get that same sound, I use the sustonuto to hold up =
the last 6 - 10 dampers, and give each note the same sharp blow. I voice =
each hammer to get the same sustain on all of these notes.=20
