Hello Jonathan
First... Is the action an "over-damper" or and "under-damper"? I think =
the former in the USA is called a "birdcage"
Second.... Is there any "follow-through" of the damper head when the =
string is depressed?
Third.... Are the damper wires (the thick wire attaching the head to the =
body) bent to a degree which won't allow "lift"?
Fourth.... Are the damper spoons in need of regulating?
Fifth..... Has some wise-guy sloshed beer in the piano and the dampers =
are stuck to the strings?
There are so many answers to this question - but try those for starters
Regards

      Dear list,

                       I have a few dampers in the  upper bass of an =
older upright that are seated against the strings, and dont lift to =
allow for string vibration.  What could cause this and what can I do?
