Yamaha P90 Metallic Overtones

[piano_learner]

Hello all,

Anyone who has visited another music forum has no doubt heard about the “Ringing Overtones” heard in the Grand Piano 1 voice of the Yamaha P90.

Here are some quotes from the description of the keyboard
----------------------------------------------
“Due to the triple Dynamic Stereo Sampling (DSS) and special sustain and key-off samples its piano sound is incredible natural and accurate.”

“Dynamic Stereo Sampling — three layers of precisely recorded digital samples each set at a different velocity point. In other words, when you play the keyboard lightly you hear the true sound of a piano being played pianissimo. And as you player harder, the sound switches to that of a piano being played mezzo forte or forte.”
------------------------------------------------

I haven’t had much experience with Acoustic Grand Piano’s, but would this ‘metallic ringing’ sound (which I *do* notice) be made by a REAL Grand Piano? Could it be the resonance of the strings near the one that has been struck?

I had just read this and it might be what you are talking about:

Scroll down to 'support flange' and read the paragraph.  The metallic ringing might be this support piece made of aluminum.

Thanks allchopin,

I think THAT is the answer and I am greatly relieved. I found it impossible to believe that Yamaha would ‘miss’ this if it was unintentional or an electronic anomaly.  I have bought the 2003/2004 Grade 1 CD to help me refine my playing and when I listen to the piece I am practicing- Beethoven ‘German Dance in C’, I notice similar overtones during the same parts of the piece. I am curious as to whether the people complaining about it have only ever had experience with digital pianos?
