---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I have not yet seen this client's piano, but have an appointment to assess it next week. I have spoken with her over the phone and it seems that as a whole the dampers do not seat themselves on the strings properly allowing them to continue to sound after the pedal is released. This is an area where I have not had a lot of experience and would appreciate a good 1-2-3 type strategy on how to best assess and fix the problem. The customer's original email is below. "I have a 1973 Kimball 5'8" grand that has damper problems. Tha last time I had it tuned, a couple of years ago, the tuner said the condition could not be corrected - that the hammers were too light to dampen the strings-- but I want a second opinion. I think the problem has been caused by my playing frequently with the soft pedal engaged - a habit I got into while practicing in a tiny cubicle when in school -- many years ago. The piano has had very little use" Rick Bazemore --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
