grand damper problem

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

John,
There are several possibilities:
         damper underlevers need traveling to center them over their own keys
         damper lead weights have loosened and half fallen out 
against the neighboring underlever
         key bushings are so worn that the back end of the key is all 
over the place
         foreign object entangled in the damper system
         (other possibilities yet to come to mind)
The only way is to look and see.

Good luck,
Andrew Anderson
