This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello everyone. Last week I asked for assistance regarding overtones in bass strings on = a Kawai RX-2. I want to thank all those who generously responded.=20 Some people asked me to be a little more specific about the problem, so = here goes. The problem is most prominent in the bass bi-chords, although it shows = up in the singles as well. High overtones are quite audible in single = strings of the bi-chord, ie. I've muted off one string. The overtone is = not coming from the back-string area, nor is it coming from undampered = strings, nor is it coming from the room or any other part of the piano. = The overtone is clearly being generated from the string itself.=20 QUESTIONS: 1. Has anyone had any luck getting rid of this noise by rescaling the = offending string(s)? 2. Has anyone had any luck by installing Scott Jones' "Pitch Lock" = string couplers? 3. Ted Sambell was doing some experimentation, at the Banff Centre a few = years back, by adding mass at one end of the string. Has anyone else = tried this? If so, please describe what you did and what was the result. 4. Is this just the nature of the beast, and the client is going to have = to live with it? I look forward to any suggestions and answers to my questions.
