Unless of course the pedal rod is ajar and is holding the dampers off =
the strings just a tad. Check everything B4 bending wires.

  Push the strings to ensure that the dampers follow. If they don't, =
that is the signal to bend the damper wires. If they do, maybe it's the =
spring tension?

      I reinstalled an upright action, and now the strings ring.  Most =
of the dampers are seated well.  Should I take the action out and bend =
the damper wires?

      Jonathan,
          More info required here.
          Did you replace the damper felt ?
          Did you regulate the action?
          Is the pedal out of adjustment?
          Are the spoons contacting the damper levers?
          Did the strings ring before you took the action out?
          Are you a piano technician?

          Respectfully, you are asking for a simple solution to a =
condition for which there are many possible causes.
          I'm not bashing you here, but in my opinion your question =
tells me that you may not understand the basic function of a vertical =
action .I'll suggest acquiring the Journal on CD . You will find many =
fine articles on damper regulation and replacement.
          Meet us halfway and you'll be off and running.
          Best of luck,
          Tom Driscoll RPT
