OP Pianopetals Junior Member P Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 1 Florida, USA	What is the cause of limited sustained sound when a single key is played without using the sustain pedal? Are there a certain number of seconds that it should sound? Is this fixable on an older grand? Thank you

If the strings are rusty you can attempt to remove the rust. But the problem is you can't remove the rust from the underside of the string. A permanent fix it to restring the piano.
