Here, you want to get the felts wets, to loosen the glue, so that the felts will come off the damper heads. That is the ONLY part of a piano that can get wet. The rest of the action, especially an upright action, should not get wet. You can use a damp rag to clean the hammer rest rail, but that's about it. (unless you follow Mr. Bullocks advice for removing damper head glue). Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
