When I press on the string to see if the damper follows or "hugs" the string most do not follow. I am thinkng this piano needs new damper springs. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>      Question: Would it be easier to replace merely the springs or should I replace the whole damper lever and remount and adjust the heads/felts?  or....is there a quick fix that would effectively solve the problem and buy more time? What would be the most cost effective? Do they even make damper levers to fit this piano anymore? The bridges look  decent, (hardly any / minimal splitting), action parts look good, not dried out, strings are not rusty and the tuning pins are tight. I think it is worth fixing the problem.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance,</DIV> <DIV>Julia Gottshall</DIV> <DIV>Reading, PA</DIV></BODY></HTML>
