Hi Dave,<br>
<br>
I'm dead serious when I say this: you need to install Wapin. It has never
failed to fix this problem. There is a pianist who drives from Dallas to
Cedar Rapids, IA to record because there is no Wapin SSD in Dallas. It's
real. It works. It's cost effective.<br>
<br>
You don't have be worried about removing it because it didn't work. <br>

<div>I've been inspired! I have a client, a university in East Texas that
has a 5 year old "D" that is dead. Sustain is gone. I have a "B" and a
"D" here that are 9 years old. The "B" is not dead yet, but the vultures
are circling.</div>

<div>I read in the archives again last night the post from Del of April
2001 on putting the sounding board springs in. I've ordered the springs
from McMaster and I've remembered I have some nice "L" shaped maple that
can serve as the mounts for the system. This maple had a former life as
damper lifter trays. </div>

<div>I hope to be able to bring a little life to our two pianos here, then
try it on the East Texas piano. When you think about $200,000 worth of
less than 10 year old pianos in this shape, you really want to do something,
anything! I like the fact that I can just remove the additional apparatus
if this doesn't make an improvement. If I do it over winter break and it
doesn't work, no one will ever know. If it does work, I'll make sure everybody
knows!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll let you know how it goes.</div>
