Steinway damper ringing problem

One other thing that I have run into is a bass damper, usually a uni-chord, 
that has too much backward tilt.  This allows the proximal damper to sit off 
the string just enough to allow a much higher partial to sympathetically excite 
the bass string.  
  On a very slow lift, look for damperheads that rise at the front!
