Anyhow, I saw it once at a piano convention class. It also shows how the damper tries to land back on a single bass string that has been set in motion. That string in relation to the damper head is liken to a bull rider's worst nightmare except for the danger of being horned or stomped :-) Pretty awesome stuff ! However, I don't know where the film clip is currently located. Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
