A method and a device are described for the controlled damping of combustion-driven oscillations in a turbomachine with a burner system providing at least one burner, into which is introduced, via at least one burner nozzle arranged centrally in the burner, fuel which is intermixed with combustion inflow air flowing into the burner, to form a fuel/air mixture which is ignited in a combustion chamber following the burner system. The invention is distinguished in that the fuel nozzle is designed in the form of a burner lance, at the lance end of which fuel discharge into the burner takes place, and in that the burner lance projects into the burner in the amount of at least one third of the axial burner length.
