"Loss of Tone" Complaint

[jolly roger]

Well my dear friend,  the dampers protrude between the strings a wee bitty,
so if you start rubbing with out clearing them from the bottoms of the
strings.  Ops darn, now I have to fix the dampers.   Well I'm an odd ball
and like damper jobs.
So no, I meant, depress the damper pedal.  LMBO  Thats, laughing my butt off.
On a more serious note,  the area of the dampers, and strike zone of the
hammers,  I rarely see rusted and dirty, unless some thing has been spilt.
 Not so uncommon.  But some damper work is then usually needed.
Now whats this old thing, Thats reserved for Newton. He is on the old side
of 60, and I am on the young side.
Have a great weekend.
Roger
