The damper underlever center pin & the tray pivot pin are not in line or at least too far from each other & creates more weight at the front of the tray due to the weight of tray,springs & levers combined . So thump thump baby! . Also I've heard fine musicians with the most deplorable pedal technique create an almost slap slap slap sound instead of the thump. When I modify the tray pivot so it is in line with the under lever center pin the weight & subsequent thump are reduced. The tray & underlever weight are more balanced as the tray pivot/fulcrum has moved forwards(towards the keyboard) & the thumping is reduced to normal / acceptable levels. The dampers age & compaction is also a huge factor as every one else has said. ta thump! Dale ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
