Dear Vballx, This is the same action my old nine-foot J. Bauer had in it. An excellent action. Worth keeping and/or rebuilding when the time comes. As Rob suggested, the rattling bass dampers are probably due to the wires being located too close to the strings. However, there is one other possibility that comes to mind. As damper felts age they tend to get harder than they were when the piano was new. They also get hard if things like Coke or 7-Up are spilled on them. It is possible that the damper felts are excessively hard and are rattling against the strings. If this is the case, they will have to be replaced. (Just the felts, not the whole damper assembly.)
