I have remedied this problem on several older Steinways by simply replacing the bass dampers.

Raise dampers with pedal and = then release pedal. Dampers make quite an audible thump. Remove action and manually lift a dozen or so dampers and you get a similar thump - it is especially prominent with the bicords - very little noise from the flat dampers. =20 Is this nothing more than the sound that 55 year-old grand dampers make? That is my strong suspicion. =20 Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
