Bruce,

Have you been servicing the piano all along, or are you new to the =
situation?

  Thanks Dave.
  The overtones happen as the hammers hit the strings, and continue =
while the dampers are off the strings. It's a puzzle for me.
  Cheers,
  Bruce

      Hello everyone.

      Bruce Gibson in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada here.

      I have a client who has a Kawai RX-2. We changed the bass strings =
to GC Piano Co. strings because the client was complaining about =
obnoxious overtones. Many of the offending overtones are still there.=20

      Any suggestions as to how I might go about eliminating them, or at =
very least reducing them. I've tried voicing the hammers...with not =
audible change.

      Look forward to your input.

      Thank you.

    Bruce,

    What I find interesting is that I tune many RX2s, and they are =
probably less troubled by that type of harmonic disturbance than just =
about any other piano I work on.  I'm curious about what it might be.  =
Are the dampers seating properly?=20

    Good luck, keep us posted,

    Dave Stahl
