I suggested that she have perhaps 5 or 6 more put in.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   Has anyone else ever had this experience with the P22? I think this is a personal preference thing. Personally I think I'd want a few more dampers at that, they just simply end too "soon". Are there provisional holes for installing a few extra dampers or am I looking at alot more work than I bargained for? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Another thing I thought of was that there are more false on the high treble notes than there were a year ago, when I first tuned it. I know the strings of a new piano stretch but do they also become unseated at the lower bridge, because they are new? Perhaps all I need to do is tap the strings down with a brass rod and retune.   Suggestions? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks </DIV> <DIV>Julia Gottshall</DIV> <DIV>Reading.
