<HTML>I am, as we speak, working on a 30 year old B with some damper problems. There are about a dozen notes that just won't damping cleanly, and the rest that could use improving. I rebushed the guide rail and replaced all the damper felts over Christmas, and that is when the problems started. C2 in particular just doesn't want to shut off and F#1 has high overtones coming out when the key is released. I remedied the problem several months ago by gluing a small nut to the lever, with the intention of looking at this thing in detail over the summer. Well, it's summer time, and I am working on it. I took the damper tray out of the piano, and cleaned all the groves, and bent the springs slightly. It's got Teflon bushing, so there is no restrictions there. Everything works and looks perfect. Since there seems to be a general problem throughout the piano, I was thinking of adding a little weight to each lever. I realize that would increase touch weight, but if it was done uniformly, I though it might not be as noticeable. Before I put the tray back in, are there any ideas, thoughts, suggestions that might help solve this problem. Wim </HTML>
