"Loss of Tone" Complaint

[Farrell]

This was to clean the underside of the string at the damper. Removing the
action provides access to the string underside, and lifting the dampers by
depressing the pedal gets the dampers up off the strings so that you can
scrub them. If you do that with the dampers lowered at resting position, you
will chew up the dampers - especially the wedges that extend down below the
bottom of the string.
