for some of the suggestions. This morning I added I added a little 1 =
gram
screw to each damper lever. It solved the problem in the treble, but =
the bass
still has an after ring on most notes. As I mentioned, this is on a 30 =
year
old B, which is in a piano faculty's studio. I had replaced the =
dampers and
rebushed the guide rail. Right next to it is a 2 year old B. Guess =
what? It
has the same problem. The I went and tried 3 other B's, and they all =
have the
same problem. I guess it is an inherent problem of the B. <BR><BR>Wim
