Thank you Mr. Paolo! I confirm, the last bass key does not dampen correctly, so there is a slight reverb. Now, to help it rest better on the string, it is sufficient to act on the screw that locks the damper rod to lower it... or maybe it's just sluggish due to lack of lubrication?
Thank you

first of all you have to center it and then see if it is so lazy that it doesn't move. See if it falls well and well centered, without impediments
