Schulze Polmann piano from 40 years ago, with strings and hammers changed about 5 years ago, played 2-3 hours a day.

After some tunings, some of the high-register strings have changed timbre and although perfectly in tune, they resonate in a strange and unpleasant way. I am quite sure it depends on imperfect contact between the strings and the bridge. Is there any brilliant solution?

It took me a while to find a way to record; in the meantime, the piano has improved "on its own" simply by playing it. Anyway, I am sending an mp3 with the sounds of some strings E-F-F#, in particular, the F# string vibrates poorly

The sound seems rather compact to me. However, the intonation is bright. Try tapping with a small wooden or brass bar on the bridge. Some notes also lack tuning. To decide the intonation of the cantabile, one must evaluate the entire intonation of the instrument.
