Marshall, If you are referring to the spoon that is attached to the back of the wippen that moves the damper lever, I would avoid bending it at all. I'm fairly certain that is not going to resolve what you describe how the A plays when you hit it hard. In bending the spoon you will only create a different problem related to damper lever activity.
