The small screwdriver would be for the brass flange holding it in place, the glue to hold the cloth together until the flange is in place and tight. with the cloth worn or missing the sostenudo rod could/would move and rub on the tabs, holding the dampers up. which ones would depend on distance from post and individual regulation. -- Conrad Hoffsommer - Keyboard Technician Luther College, 700 College Dr., Decorah, Iowa 52101-1045 1-(563)-387-1204 // Fax 1-(563)-387-1076
