<DIV> Hello Ed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Check the strings between the hitch pins and
the </DIV>
<DIV>bridge. If one or more of these wires are "singing"</DIV>
<DIV>it can be very loud. The last one I had was an almost</DIV>
<DIV>new Steinway " L ". He was told to live with it,
it would</DIV>
<DIV>probably " go away ". O yea' fat
chance. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Have someone continue to strike the offending note</DIV>
<DIV>and touch each wire in that area. If you find it weave </DIV>
<DIV>name board felt thru the wires. Then present your bill.</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Regards</DIV>

<DIV>I have a problem I haven't been able to solve. The piano is a Mason
& Hamlin, probably 15 years old, and there is a very strong after ring
especially in the middle range of the piano, from C3-C5. The dampers are
good, and have plenty of pressure on the strings. I have tried to damp
off all the bass strings and the ring is unaffected. Even when I have
damped off virtually the entire piano, it still rings. The piano is in
good condition, the pedals are adjusted correctly. Everything seems to
be working fine, but I can't make any headway on the ring. Any
thoughts?????</DIV>
