[pianotech] Upright Dampers

[David Weiss]

I did this on a recent damper job, but only for the flat treble dampers.
Before I took the action from the clients house to my shop I touched up the
alignment.  It worked perfectly.

Hello all! 
I have only installed damper felts once or twice on uprights, and have
always used the damper lever pressure as a clamp against the string. I still
plan on doing that for the bass dampers, but have an action in the shop and
am thinking of just gluing the fresh flat damper felts for the treble on
here, outside the piano. Since they're flat, I feel like they'll do their
job once they get to the strings. Is this folly?
