I'm so proud of myself! I think it would be easier to design a = new piano! It was a teacher's piano and she said that the dampers had = never worked right - jeez-oh-petes - when depressing the sustain pedal, = the bass dampers were an inch off the strings before the treble dampers = lifted, and on most notes, the spoon engaged the damper lever right at = the start of the key stroke - she also commented that the action was = heavy. I know I didn't get it to concert-level accuracy, but the whole = system ended up pretty darn functional and in the right ballpark. She = gave it a try afterwards and remarked that it was now doing what it = should. My question is this: how does one go about bending damper-head wires on = verticals without trashing the hammer-butt springs - not that I = disturbed a single one of course - but I can see the potential to do = that. ;-) Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
