I assume (oh, oh) that you are talking about the bass dampers 
being too short?  To test, dampen the bass strings with a 
wooden stick/felt or your arm.  Does the dampening improve?  
Replace the bass dampers with 2 &3/8" dampers (you may have to 
make them).  Read Bill Spurlocks articles in the PTJournal about 
upright damper replacement.
