It seems so easy to lash out in anger, but matters only get worse = when we do so. I just hope that a way is found to deal with things = constructively so that from this tragedy comes some kind of good. If = that could only be done, then I think you could truly say that this is a = great nation. Second, a piano technical question. On your advice, given quite = some time ago on pianotech, I sent away for Yamaha damper felt for the = Steinway grand I am rebuilding. All the bass dampers are now ready to = go back into the piano, but I am mystified as to what to do about the = treble dampers? =20 In the past I have used Laroux felt and the trichords and flats have = worked together well and I have been able to cut them to the same = configuration that was on the piano previously. However, with the = Yamaha felt, the flats are sewn in the middle. If I keep the flats the = full width that they are, then the damper heads will have much longer = pieces of felt on them than they did previously and will dampen the = strings at different node points than they used to. Do you think this = will cause me a problem with the dampening? Thanks for all!
