<font size=3>Hi Torn,<br>
If the strings are seated and the bridge pins are secure. Then lift
the strings on both sides of the capo. After lifting then make sure
the hammer fitting is still good.<br>
If it is an isolated note. Check the hammer flange centre
pin. Trust me there is more weak trebles out there, caused by
poor pinning, than we would care to count.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Why is it that some strings on a

treble (octave 5 or 6) that have notably less sustain than their
neighbors. <br>
I'll be tuning along, each note singing, DINNNNNN, DINNNNNN, and then I

to its neighbor, DINK. <br><br>
There are some things we can eliminate, like the damper not lifting, or
the <br>
hammer double striking or blocking against the string. These pianos
have <br>
been regulated from square one (key height and dip). The strings
have been <br>
seated to the bridge and there are no false beats whatsoever. It's
not my <br>
unison tuning because it can be heard in the individual strings of the
<br>
unison. They are also NOT low quality Asian imports.<br><br>
If anyone has an idea, I'd be interested to understand why one perfectly
good <br>
brand new string vibrates better than the one right next to it.<br><br>

P.S.<br>
It's most noticeable from playing the 3 string unisons<br><br>
