Nobody Knows the Treble I've Seen ...

Tuned these two pianos in two consecutive days ...

New Yamaha GA-1 (yurk): In addition to low treble from hell, the 6th and 7th octaves are just screechers, wild and wooley. On the spectrograph, some of the individual strings have about 8 peaks each!

70's Kimball console: Entire treble, up to about G7 at least, is clean, and sweet. 

I don't think the patented Thermomezonuclear Soundboard is the reason and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the Exclusive Harmi-Tone-ExcuseMeWhileIBarf action, BUT this piano does have one of those steel rod inserts for the upper string terminations instead of on the usual bump in the cast iron. 

Think that might be part of success in a clean treble? I'm going to be more observant of pianos with and without this and see if it's a trend.
