thumping dampers

[antares]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment

Hi,

I recently visited a customer with a Yamaha C2, who has the very same =20=

complaint.
The thump is not normal, and I have not yet encountered this with any =20=

Yamaha grand.
I have examined it, and have come to the conclusion that the Yamaha =20
damper felt is not too hard. It usually is of very good quality anyway.
I think there is too much lead in the damper levers.
All the damper levers, combined with the amount of weight from the =20
lead, gives the heavy thump.

My two funny money cents
