the back. I always put it in the front because we all know what has happened to
Baldwin (though I wouldn't blame it on where they put their tricord felts) plus
it seems that the string spacing would be more regular in the front due to the
agraffes. We have dozens of Baldwin grands here and the dampers seem to work
just fine with the tricords in back.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
