I find that a pitch raise of over 50 cents, will change the string = level, so that the dampers may not mate with the new level of the = strings, Add to that the higher tension will give the strings more = energy in reserve, so that when struck with the hammer, the string may = not stop its vibration as quickly. Try this, on a piano that is way under pitch (50 cents or more,) using = a string level, find a note that IS LEVEL near as you can to the strike = point. Now bring the note up to pitch and recheck the level of the = strings.

Matthew =20 However, here's something that you might actually have done to cause = this. If you don't raise the damper pedal when you put in your strip = mute, you can compress the damper felt. This could cause the problem.
