Also, I have had older uprughts that do not achieve quiet damping even when new damper felts replace the old ones, I would think that it could be the damper springs. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Julia Gottshall</DIV> <DIV>Reading, PA</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 7/24/2006 11:28:14 PM Eastern Standard Time, <A href="mailto:dlawson@davidlawsonspianos.com.au">dlawson@davidlawsonspianos.com.au</A> writes:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry, This may be just too simple, but have you checked the sustain pedal to see that it is not lifting the dampers a tad?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David Lawson</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
