I agree that many seem (myself included) to shrug away from regulateing damper spoons.. probably cus the darn things are hidden from view when doing this, as is usual (and neccessary ??) with the action installed. I questioned neccessary because I seem to remember seeing something about a jig and accompanying procedure for doing this job on the bench... anyone remember anything about this.. or know about it ?? >> Set some sample dampers at the piano to the correct lift timing. Place a wedge / mute under the damper lift rod untill you can just make the sampled dampers move by lifting at the wippen cushion or sticker/abstract. Set the rest of the spoons to match this immediate lift, it will get you close. I hate bending spoons. Mark Ritchie RPT
