The  c  two octaves above middle c produces a distorted ringing sound when played loudly with the sustain pedal despressed....the adjacent c sharp does the same thing....Apparently, many years ago when the church got the piano, this was a real problem in that section of the instrument, because it looks as though the technician packed front rail felt punchings in between the nonspeaking portion of the strings and the capo bar to try to solve the problem....but the tinny, distorted ringing continues in that section. It sounds as though the strings are touching something metal, especially on the sustain. Could it be that the damper wire is coming in contact with the string in some way? Please share your thoughts on this.  Wesley Hardman </XMP> </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
