Does anyone know what these odd extra damper wires are for, on this 1890s Bechstein upright? The last trichord at the beark has an additional "fly damper", but there is no sign of them ever having been fitted to these bass notes. I wondered if perhaps this model of action was also fitted to other, taller pianos that needed fly dampers at the bass. But why the "loop" ends? Best regards, David Boyce. (P.S. the action is tilted out from the strings, in my photo). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
