[pianotech] Yamaha p22

[Tom Gorley]

A few times in the past I have run across the same problem, one on a C7.  Notes around the area of A-61 rang sympathetically long after playing stopped. Maybe one note, maybe 2. It did come from the speaking side of the string. 

 My solution was to weave a piece of thread lightly thru the offending strings, inserting it very close to the bridge.  The very loose weave stopped the excessive after-ring without diminishing the sound when struck by the hammer.

Normally this area isn't a problem, but on this piano I had to insert stringing braid to quiet it down.
