Grin... I for one have assumed Les was telling us exactly what the problem was from the beginning. Seems to me he has qualified exactly that on a couple occasions afterwards so I shouldnt expect there would be any additional info forthcoming. Re doing an entire rail is hardly remanufacturing the piano... tho to be sure a bit more involved then a single plug and drill. On the other hand again... its good experience and worth the effort IMB. Seems like we've had all in all a pretty good round of it. So if "I" started it... well cool ! :) Cheers RicB Les'n list, So, let's see. Like Ric B said: For one [double cloth bushed] clacking damper? What's going on here? Everyone is telling Mr. Bartlett to pull out all the dampers for one noise of indeterminate origin? Huh? Early on, a few people tried to get some additional information to be able to accurately diagnose the problem, but such info has not been forthcoming. Meanwhile, we've set to work remanufacturing the piano. Sorry Ric B. You started it, I think. Oh well, it could be worse. We could have had Ed Foote coming up with a repair using his new favorite tool. Get well Mr. Foote. David Skolnik Hastings on Hudson
