List,

Yesterday I came across a problem on a Steinway (M) 1926 that I was =
tuning for the first time.  The customer asked if I could take care of =
the loud booming noise when the sustain pedal was released quickly after =
being depressed.  This was caused by the dampers dropping on the strings =
all at once.  I regulated the sustain pedal to remove any extra lost =
motion.  It did help but did not totally solve the problem.  It is quite =
annoying as it sounds almost like someone playing a bass drum with a big =
soft drum beater.  It is quite loud. =20
I was wondering if there is something I am overlooking as a solution to =
this problem.  Any solutions you could give me would be greatly =
appreciated.

Thanks,

Arthur Chickering
Rockland, ME.
