<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Actually, a whooshing noise might be perfectly normal as all the dampers are
<BR>raised, if they are binding, you might prefer to use a damper easing tool
<BR>(umbrella wire) and graphite......and are you sure its not caused by a
<BR>rubbing in the keybed by the dowell which is transferring sound to the
<BR>frame....check your pedal assy as well for friction in the rod felts and
