Grand Damper Felts

[Dave Doremus]

Dale, I will. Thanks, this was a Baldwin, I think the felt on real 
close inspection was a wee bit uneven, one side of the trichord wedge 
a wee bit thicker than the other side. On a Steinway with damper 
springs I dont think this would have been as much of a problem but 
the underlevers on this one are so light the fit has to be perfect. I 
too have used these almost exclusively for about three years, since 
Wally Brooks recommended them for a Chickering, and this is the first 
time Ive had any problem at all.
