Earlier, someone mentioned strengthening the damper spring. A properly placed
damper doesn't require much spring pressure and strong springs will affect
the touch -- before you tighten the springs don't forget to release the key
and press lightly on the damper head to see if more pressure solves the
problem. You can also touch lightly slightly above and below the damper to
see if moving it is going to help.
