Mast Pumping / Vibrating

In the slip during a wind gust my mast vibrates. I have tuned the rig, my friend the rigger has re-tuned the rig..?? The vibration is enough to shake my windex. I have checked all the tangs and chainplates, but will again when I have the time (I work long hours - ugh).

It did not pump before I replaced the bowsprit, which is very odd considering the bowsprit was rotten and the forestay had no support. The new bowsprit is a replica, except it is a bit thicker and longer, the j-measurement has not changed.

Tune the rig again? Should I put in a little more rake?

Thanks,
Erika
