Uh, the subject was vertical damper felts sets, and those nice 
factory hammers glued to shanks (different from an Abel head on a 
Renner shank, both of them the "Yamaha Style". It was also very nice 
to be able to buy factory-made damper sets (felts and levers) of 
Yamaha's quality. But that's moot now that the way is shown: make 
one's own heads and blocks.

BTW, Thank you Jon Page, for affirming that HTs are easy to load into 
ETDs, in the form of "Custom Temperaments", constructed from the very 
same numbers which Jason Kanter used for his wonderful visual 
reference. Clyde and I should be all set.
