I don't know how many time I've noticed something like a leaking damper AFTE=
R I got done tuning. You should always check the piano before putting=
a tool on it. That way the client, AND you, both know that this is a=
problem that was there when you arrived, and that you didn't cause it. =

However, here's something that you might actually have done to cause this.&n=
bsp; If you don't raise the damper pedal when you put in your strip mute, y=
ou can compress the damper felt. This could cause the problem.<=
