Two types vertical strung and over strung over damper upright piano many
made in the UK and Germany A common mistake some tuners make when
replacing the damper felt is to use normal damper felt you need end
grain felt (think of a brush pushing on the string all the fibbers
pointing to the string not running with the string )

vertical strung button
