What Is Wrong With These Notes?

Hi Everyone,
I have been working on a Whirlitzer which is about ten years' old.  On the
note A, (880) as well as the b flat and B natural above it, these notes
almost sound like the letoff is adjust too closely, that is, they sounded
almost totally damped.
Any adjustment in letoff, does not change the sustain of these notes.  these
notes will  only sustain about one quarter as much as the rest of the
keyboard.
I thought maybe it was the damper, so I pressed the damper pedal, and even
held the dampers away from the strings, but the results were the same.
Could this be a bridge or soundboard problem?
Thank you for your help.
