Damper spoons en mass

[Michael Gamble]

Phil B. asked "is there a method for moving them (damper spoons) en mass
instead of individually?
Not that I know of, Phil, The way I have done it over the years is to pull
the action forward enough to get your spoon bending tool in there. If you
have a strong enough thumb it is just possible to bend them in by applying
pressure on the damper tail - but not really recommended! Equality of
regulation will be the deciding factor!

Hello all.

A used vertical(manufacturer unknown) has made its way to a dealer 
floor, and the reason it's there(besides being for sale!) is because it 
has 'a very heavy action'. Well, one look when opening the lid reveals 
dampers lifting at the same time as the hammers.

I am admitting to being spoon deficient, and 

Thanks for the tips,
