<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Jonathan</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First... Is the action an "over-damper" =
or and
"under-damper"? I think the former in the USA is called a
"birdcage"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second.... Is there any =
"follow-through" of the
damper head when the string is depressed?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Third.... Are the damper wires (the =
thick wire
attaching the head to the body) bent to a degree which won't allow
"lift"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fourth.... Are the damper spoons in =
need of
regulating?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fifth..... Has some wise-guy sloshed =
beer in the
piano and the dampers are stuck to the strings?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are so many answers to this =
question - but
try those for starters</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>

I have a few dampers in the upper bass of an older

allow for
string vibration. What could cause this and what can I
do?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
