Clicking Damper Head

[Garret Traylor]

Matthew,

If you have not done so I encourage you to contact David Durban
ddurben at yamaha.com at Yamaha and enquire about attending the Yamaha Little
Red School house and then later the Performance Piano Seminar.  You appear
to me to be just the right material for a great tuner technician.  Keep up
the efforts.

Kindest Regards,

Garret

I have vigorously practiced my tuning today, so I am barely type.

 

On the Sherman Clay I was working on today, I noticed that a damperhead in
the bass hits the damper head next door as well as the bass strut.  When you
play anything louder than a "p" on that key, you can tell the damperhead has
way to much side to side play and vibration, and hence, you hear an audible
tapping.

 

I have noticed this on at least 3 or 4 out 10 grands I come across.  What
would be the best procedure for remedy here?

 

 

Thank you,

Matthew

 

PS  Is damper head one or two words???
