Weird ringing - HELP!!

Greetings,

          I retentioned the by slightly bending the curved part of the spring 
in it's middle, now I see that was the wrong place to do it, however the 
tension did increase and the dampers glued in and positioned nicely. The piano now 
has musch improved damper quality.

"Retensioning" an action spring is fine to do - that is how we adjust the 
tension. However, it should be done properly. The straight, or gently curved, 
portion of the spring should not be bent to adjust tension. Adjustment should be 
done at the spring fulcrum (what's the word for the part of the spring that 
has the loops and where most of the spring effect is located?) - the loops 
should be tightened or loosened.

It isn't clear to me what you mean by "messaged" - perhaps you did it the 
proper way...... :-)
