Hi,=20
5. Replace damper with longer damper if there is room.
6. Split the existing damper felt in half removing a sliver of felt from =
in between the two halves.
Just if you are getting desperate and nothing else works <G>

  Good Folks,

  =20

  On an Estonia 190 (6'3"), am experiencing damper zing at G2, (second =
note up from tenor break, if memory serves..) in a bad way.  Damper =
seems to be coming down on a node (?).   Surrounding notes are ok.

  Archive research suggests the following:

  1)       Add weight to underlever

  2)       Tilt damper head one way or t'other (as Dr. Wisner recently =
also suggested)

  3)       Re-configure damper felt on the head to possibly avoid node

  4)       Voice damper felt

  Have tried #2 and #4, with no success.  Am not sure #1 is proper cure =
for this new piano, as it will presumably change touchweight unevenly.  =
Could try #3, if other courses of attack don't present themselves, but =
am not sure what new configuration of felt might work best.

  =20

  Can anyone suggest other means, or point me in the right direction =
here?

  =20

  Thanks again,

  Chuck Christus
