Holy List, please help me ! I'm running into trouble with the bass dampers of a Bosendorfer 170. As the felt had become noisy, I substituted them all. Everithing was fine but the bass bichords. The decay time is too long. Everything regulated, the damper heads work 90 degrees to the strings, open regularly, etc., but if you play "staccato", the fundamental and the 2° harmonic take too long to decay. I tried many things, i.e. different lenght of the felt, different position, squeezed the felt to make it enter a little more into the bichords, but nothing made it fine. Besides that, my customer says that it's not working as well as before... But before it was too noisy, and it has never had a good damping on the bass, so now I must do something resolutive ! In the LIST we trust... Thank you ! Luigi Lamacchia www.inmedia.it/lamacchia
