Don't feel dumb! Haines Bros. grands can be a bit eccentric; I don't run
into them often, but I think I faced the same problem. Possibly the
psuedo-sustenuto bass sustain is not adjusted to the correct height. The
damper tray may have a return spring that is missing or weak. Excess
friction on parts of the system (damper lever flanges, damper wire bushings)
could be part of the problem too.
Take your time, be methodical, bill appropriately.
