[pianotech] ringing dampers I forgot one thing

[Ursula Hammerling]

Marshall,

I had similar problems some time ago with a piano. It turned out to be hard dampers. I used a nail file on the damper felt which worked wonders. Maybe it's worth a try.

I forgot to mention,

I did loosen and tighten the sustain pedal and while it was loosened, it still had quite an afterring.  It also had too much sloppiness in the pedal.  I'm leaning towrd the crud on the damper felt and/or springs because when I masaged the flat sewn felt on one of the dampers, it seemed to quite it down a little.  the dampers also strum the string when I press the key ever so lightly on some notes.  It's quite interesting
