[Tom Gorley]

Thanks, Susan.  I did all the waste end checks all over the piano first.  It was definitely the speaking side of those notes.  And I was careful to make sure that no sound was diminished.

Winding more braid or bushing cloth around the worst offenders will sometimes get rid of the eternally singing speaking length strings.
