I discovered that the = problem was not so much string leveling, but string spacing, as Mary suggested. = But instead of working with the dampers, I put a screw driver between the = agraff of the adjacent string and the right string that was ringing, and = twisted the screw driver. This brought the right string closer to the middle. That = solved the problem. <BR><BR>It is still a mystery why the right string kept = ringing only with the shift engaged. During normal playing all three strings = are activated by the hammer. And with the shift only the middle and right = strings ring. So why is only the right string ringing?<BR><BR>Wim </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
