It is not related to the voicing or the strings and bridges. I placed a towel over all the open strings and duplex areas. It is in the piano not outside like a crystal glass. It is very disturbing to the customer. JIM John, any suggestions for locating a very high pitch sympathetic ringing in a Steinway “L” F, F# & G 3(bell like).

It is marked with a company logo inside the top lid. It reads "King Piano Company". It has an angel on each side of the logo and also states a price of $300.00. It reads upright grand on the lid. The piano appears to be made of tiger oak and I beleive that the keys are real ivory. The piano does play but is in need of a complete redo. I would appreciate any info on this piano regarding its history and value. Thank you for your time. Michael I am seeking information about a piano that I acquired years ago.
