<DIV>Close enough, John. The first four notes in the tenor are wedge =
dampers.
The wedges are so long and thin, that when fully seated felt is mushed =
out
around the strings, so that the dampers actually grab on to the strings =
as they
try to lift. On a light stroke, they either don't lift at all, giving =
the
illusion of hammer blocking and double striking because the jack is =
short of
escapement, or the dampers do lift but only after just enough of a delay =
that
the hammer has time to bounce off the the jack once.</DIV>

checked the
position of the let off rail and regulation in general. So far =
things
looked fine. Moving the key down slowly produced let off at =

checking was fine. I went to the worst one and to satisfy my
curiosity, cranked the button down to where let off was about =
1/2".
This changed nothing. The hammer was still bouncing off the =
top of the
jack. Only on a very firm stroke would everything cycle =
through as it
should. Most of the piano was just fine. It was these few
notes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
