List;

30 year old Kawai console.

Note* All dampers work just fine (inside the piano) when each note is
played individually

With the action in the piano and the sustain pedal depressed, the bass
and the treble dampers are found to function properly. However, a two
octave section of dampers  around the tenor break will  not move enough
to clear the strings.

When the action is pulled out of the piano and placed on a flat solid
surface (the floor), and the damper lever is engaged, all the dampers
move and work just fine..

Your thoughts please......
Sincerely
Garret Traylor
