Take a careful look at the angle (top to  bottom) of the heads as they hit 
the strings. If the top hits the strings just  slightly ahead of the rest of the 
felt, I think there's less of a zing than if  the whole thing is trying to 
hit flat on the strings. Seems like one of the  major builders (Steinway?) 
actually recommends this.

Alan,
 
Do you mean the FRONT of the dampers should contact the strings  first?  I've 
seen this in new pianos before, and wondered why that was the  case.  Makes 
sense
 
Thanks,
 
Dave
