<html> <body> Alan- In addition to the suggestions you've already received, take a look at the condition of the damper felt, which, if original, is somewhere between 45 and 55 years old.  It's typical, especially for the single string (low bass) dampers, to respond to drying out (thus hardening), by an unmistakable "slappy-buzz" when returning to the string.  This loss of resilience could also permit the over-ring you notice.

I've tested each note to see if there is any single note that doesn't completely dampen - they all do. The pedal is also adjusted with some lost motion. Is there a cure for this. The piano is about 1950ish.   Alan Meyer RPT Las Vegas</blockquote></body> </html>
