Hi Marshall,<div>I tuned a P22 this morning, and noted the last damper was D6. On Yamahas the last damper is cut so that one of the strings isn't dampened. </div><div>The sustain of notes above this point are supposed to be comparatively weak, but sometimes the sustain is stronger than neighboring notes. It should be possible to voice the louder/greater sustain notes' hammers to blend in. Sometimes regulation (especially letoff) could be the culprit. </div> <div>As for the notes below D6 (like that A5) It is also possible the dampers are damaged or misaligned, or that damper spoon regulation needs to be corrected.</div><div>Good hunting,</div><div>Patrick Draine <div class="gmail_quote"> On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 10:49 AM, Marshall Gisondi <<a href="mailto:pianotune05@hotmail.com">pianotune05@hotmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div><div dir="ltr"> Hi Everyone, I tuned two Yamaha p 22s yesterday at a school. I'm curious as to why some notes in the treble ring when I p lay them. This is above the damper section. I checked the sustain pedal and bass sustain, and they seem to be fine. the first piano I believe it was a5 that would ring after I played it. On the second it was several notes in the trebel above the damper section. Is this just a common flaw with the p22s? thanks Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service <a href="mailto:pianotune05@hotmail.com" target="_blank">pianotune05@hotmail.com</a> <a href="tel:215-510-9400" value="+12155109400" target="_blank">215-510-9400</a> <a href="http://www.phillytuner.com/" target="_blank">www.phillytuner.com</a> Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind <a href="http://www.pianotuningschool.org/" target="_blank">www.pianotuningschool.org</a> Vancouver, WA </div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div>
