>HAAAA sound. 

Trichord felt dragging between the strings. trim and dress the tips.

2)When she releases the pedal, there is a fairly loud WHUMP as the

Firm felt.  Replace with softer felt and/or time the tray lift 
gradually across the compass.

4)      If I stroke across the bass strings with the dampers on the bass
strings, there is a fairly prominent hangover of the string excitation
before it dies away
5)      On a staccato blow, you can see the damper felt fluttering on top of
the bass string before it quiets it, accompanied by a ZUP kind of sound

Bass felt sections not long enough, damper assist springs are either 
missing or too weak.


Take a damper installation class in Grand Rapids this Summer.
