Wrong. Good guess though.

>hi List,

  Here's a good one: While testing a new Kohler & Campbell SKG 500 Grand, I 
noticed that the dampers
  from the mid section up were very sluggish, and while they would damp the 
strings, it took much to long for
  them to come back down to rest on the strings, almost as if in slow 
motion. So I tested another identical
  Kohler grand...SAME PROBLEM! But this time it was mostly in the bass 
section. I did discover the problem,
  and the remedy was pretty simple. Any guesses as to what was the culprit?<
