New Yamaha P22: dampers/ string seating question

[David Ilvedson]

Your client has a piano with superb sustain and she/he should be happy with that sustain...they have to stop the dampers somewhere...

Greetings, 
 
         I have a client who purchased a Yami P22 one year ago, that complains that a few treble notes  ring too much for her, upon inspection I find that there are only 67 dampers. I suggested that she have perhaps 5 or 6 more put in.
 
   Has anyone else ever had this experience with the P22? I think this is a personal preference thing. Personally I think I'd want a few more dampers at that, they just simply end too "soon". Are there provisional holes for installing a few extra dampers or am I looking at alot more work than I bargained for? 
 
Another thing I thought of was that there are more false on the high treble notes than there were a year ago, when I first tuned it. I know the strings of a new piano stretch but do they also become unseated at the lower bridge, because they are new? Perhaps all I need to do is tap the strings down with a brass rod and retune.   Suggestions? 
 
Thanks
