Hi Dianne

beatiful tokiwa felt for about $75.00  I've used dozens of sets.  There =

  Roger,

  First I wish to thank you for your thoughtful post to pianotech about =
humane ways of dealing with this terrible situation our country is in.  =
It seems so easy to lash out in anger, but matters only get worse when =
we do so.  I just hope that a way is found to deal with things =
constructively so that from this tragedy comes some kind of good.  If =
that could only be done, then I think you could truly say that this is a =
great nation.

  Second, a piano technical question.  On your advice, given quite some =
time ago on pianotech,  I sent away for Yamaha damper felt for the =
Steinway grand I am rebuilding.  All the bass dampers are now ready to =
go back into the piano, but I am mystified as to what to do about the =
treble dampers? =20

  In the past I have used Laroux felt and the trichords and flats have =
worked together well and I have been able to cut them to the same =
configuration that was on the piano previously.  However, with the =
Yamaha felt, the flats are sewn in the middle.  If I keep the flats the =
full width that they are, then the damper heads will have much longer =
pieces of felt on them than they did previously and will dampen the =
strings at different node points than they used to.  Do you think this =
will cause me a problem with the dampening?

  Thanks for all!

  Diane
