[pianotech] 1889 Ibach overdamper upright

[David Andersen]

I work on an amazing 1903 Steingraeber overdamper upright; I'll take a bunch of pics the next time I'm there; it's extraordinary.

And these overdamper actions actually have a reasonable capability for damping.  The shame is very few techs are able to restore a _good_ overdamper such as Ibach or Blüthner to its full potential.
