Ok folks... Ed,,,grin... I must admit I will have to ponder this explanation and check it out on the Steinway tommorrow at work... but in anycase all you folks that came out with the right aways Damper Stop Rail too low are 100 % correct. And it is only just too low at that, otherwise its condition would have been a bit more obvious to begin with. This problem, by the way... had been pointed out on many occasions to the Steinway rep in Norway since the piano was purchased by the University over 10 years ago. His response had always been that this is the way Steinways are supposed to be... tho he had no explanation for why the other C we had which was a bit older did not suffer the same problem. Anyways,,, I just got responsibility for this instrument (long story) and it didnt take long to figure out the Damper Stop Rail was too low. Lots of Green Juice to spread around... you guys are on your game today !! RicB Phil Bondi wrote: >> Jon, that ain't the way I see it.
