<html> <body> Hi Wim,               Could it be the damper lift felts are badly worn and the timing is way off when the shift pedal is used? In general is the dampers timed early?

As I was doing my last voicing, I discovered that when I put on the shift, about 4 or 5 notes would not dampen the right string cleanly. Under normal playing, these dampers work fine. But with the shift, the right string rings on just a little more than I want. I tried adjust the damper head, but to no avail. In fact, the more I tilted the head to the right, the worse the problem got. When I tilted the head to the left, it didn't solve the problem either. It is not the adjacent damper lifter holding the damper up. I checked that. I'm at a loss. Any one know why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the problem?
