<DIV><FONT size=2>Yesterday I came across a problem on a Steinway (M) =
1926 that
I was tuning for the first time. The customer asked if I could =
take care
of the loud booming noise when the sustain pedal was released quickly =
after
being depressed. This was caused by the dampers dropping on the =
strings
all at once. I regulated the sustain pedal to remove any extra =
lost
motion. It did help but did not totally solve the problem. =
It is
quite annoying as it sounds almost like someone playing a bass drum with =
a big
soft drum beater. It is quite loud. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I was wondering if there is something I am =
overlooking as a
solution to this problem. Any solutions you could give me would be =
greatly
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
