Tom, List,

You can also do preliminary bending of the damper wires on a 
workbench. You should find the bass dampers all have the same bends. 
Pretty generic and a much easier thing to do out in the open.

You will also find similar patterns in the tenor and treble areas, at 
least enough so as to make preforming the wires a significant timing 
saving act. All the detail adjusting can take place when they are 
actually installed in the action.

Good Luck,
