1926 Steinway A. It's OK. Bass dampers feel harder than the plain wire dampers. All dampers feel weighted and heavy. The problem is that whenever the sustain pedal is released the bass dampers, together, make a fairly loud "thunk" when they land. At first I thought it might be the damper tray hitting bottom, but holding the dampers up with the sostonuto pedal prevents the "thunk" when releasing the sustain pedal. Thump does not happen with the plain wire dampers. My current thought is to just replace the bass dampers with new ones, but I thought I would check in here for your ideas first.
