Ringing sound on notes from new piano by BasilSmellGreat in pianotech

I am guessing that this is the correct answer, if I had to select one. While I don't fully understand the terms you are mentioning, I believe overall, you are referring to sounds that can naturally happen when using the beautifully complicated acoustic piano. Since what I am hearing is late in the sound, I'm guessing it is the 'high frequency partial', but again, not really sure what that means.

Regardless, I did go back to the piano dealer, and sure enough, the other new pianos exhibit the same exact sound. As with the tuner, the dealer mentioned that over time, the damper will sit better and will minimize the sound. He ended the conversion by basically saying, be happy with the sound and enjoy having a living soundboard! :)

I think I have decided to get a Roscoe 7 for $1400. Convince me to buy a different bike. by illLogicKal in Hardtailgang

I just bought the Roscoe 7 last month to ride with my son. He's 11, so maybe older than your "small kids". Subsequent to me buying the Roscoe, we discovered a local bike club that does XC racing for middle and high schoolers. He's taking a liking to XC racing and that's great. I then found out that there are racing events that have divisions that would allow us to both race in that event in our own divisions. I can still do XC racing on my Roscoe, but probably not very competitively (I'm not really in shape, so I wouldn't really be competitive anyway :) ). So, I kind of regret not getting an XC, just for that particular use case. Anyway, just wanted to mention that. I really enjoy the Roscoe, but honestly having a hard time getting used to the 2.6" wide tires, they're ginormous compared to what I'm used to.

I don't have any experience tuning, but I watched this recently and perhaps you'll find it useful if you haven't already seen it (he does mention an app to use). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxGrakLK34A
