Hello Dave - you said:  
"some  pianos have tricord dampers with fingers that extend far below the 
level of  the string." 
S&S maintain that the split damper felts should be cut  to show "no winking" 
below the strings. Not only does this dispense with that  "friction" you 
mention, but that same friction induces a "shushing" noise  which is unacceptable 
in a recording.

Michael,
 
You are quite right.  I've done this operation a couple of times, and  it 
makes a HUGE difference in silencing the "Shush" and having a more consistent  
and positive action feel in the middle of the keyboard.  Once again, this  type 
of operation--trimming the dampers--is a matter of who, if anyone, wants to  
foot the bill...
