damper mechanism squeaks....argh!

[Kenneth Jankura]

I once tuned for a French teacher at a boarding school.
She wasn't home and there was a horrific squeak from the bottom board.
Not having my tilter, nor any wood wedges to stick under the piano,
I looked on her bookshelf and saw multiple copies of Sartre's 'Being  
and Nothingness' (in French).
I used one of them to prop up the bottom board and voila no more squeak.
I left a note explaining what I did and why, with the comment that  
Sartre was wrong,
existence does have both meaning and purpose.
