<DIV>Hello everyone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bruce Gibson in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a client who has a Kawai RX-2. We changed the bass =
strings to GC
Piano Co. strings because the client was complaining about obnoxious =
overtones. Many of the offending overtones are still there. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any suggestions as to how I might go about eliminating them, or =
at very
least reducing them. I've tried voicing the hammers...with not =
audible
change.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Look forward to your input.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>Bruce,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I find interesting is that I tune many RX2s, and they are =
probably
less troubled by that type of harmonic disturbance than just about any =
other
piano I work on. I'm curious about what it might be. Are =
the
dampers seating properly? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck, keep us posted,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
