Based on what Don wrote, I am wondering if this may be due to damper springs made heavier at this point.

  I have noticed this same thing at the bass/tenor break.

    Has anyone noticed that this seems to occur frequently on Asian pianos that have the graduated rake for three or four notes right at the break. Some one once told me, I'm not sure who, that it was a geometry thing with the longer hammer shanks.

    Thanks Don for taking the time to explain this.
