John: Several years ago I had the same kind of problem on a similar piano. The name on the fall board said one thing, but the manufacturer was the same as the piano you are dealing with, Samick. The problem, I finally deduced, was a lack of weight on the damper flange. Although you corrrectly thought that you might have to deal with that lever, and it was mentioned to do this as a last resort, the only way to solve your problem is to use the last resort, and that is add weight to the damper lever. Unfortunately, there is a BIGGER PROBLEM. On the piano I was working on, there was no more room on the lever to add any more weights. I am affraid you will also find that to be the case on your piano. Unfortunately, unless any of the other solutions posted solved the problem, this is a case where the customer needs to be told. "that's the best THIS piano will do". Willem Blees RPT St. Louis, Mo
