Philip, Is there any way the spoons could be "drifting up"(coming loose) from the wippen? When the spoon contacts the damper lever felt, it drags down a bit which over time could "pry" the spoon up out of the wippens. Is it happening on every note? This sounds quite odd. Maybe the spoons could be driven down just a bit....or..check the regulation of damper lift, both pedal and individual notes for proper movement. How old is this piano? I've never come across this kind of problem before...

I discovered the damper lifter rod is rubbing the tops of the damper spoons. It's hinges are not loose or adjustable. I see the option of grinding down the bottom of the rod so it avoids the spoons. Better still would be to raise the rail a bit by driving in the damper rod pins a bit. Can this be done? Philip Jamison West Chester, PA Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger.
