They look like the teeth of a hobo.. From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of pianolover 88 Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 11:24 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Unusual dampers These are from the Pease grand, circa 1909, that I'm working on. Notice the strange 3-pronged bi chord damper felts! First time I've ever seen this type. Not sure what the advantage over the typical wedge shape would be, but maybe they damp slightly faster since these touch *both* sides of the bi chords, making contact at all 4 sides?
