damper felts

[Horace Greeley]

Peter,

The only Zimmerman I ever saw was relatively short (about 160cm), so I do
not know if this would apply or not.  I seem to remember that it was very
sensitive to the length of the felt, as well as the density.

If nothing else works, your thought about the damper action not having
"enough wait"  (if that means changing the damper lift timing so that the
dampers lift later) may be your best bet.

Dampers are _such_ fun

Best, and good luck.

Horace.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizzare and inexplicable.  There is another
theory which states that this has already happened."
