All the bass dampers are flat felts on the front and back with wedges and split wedges sandwiched in the middle (at the wire). Should I be trying to duplicate this arrangement or go with all wedges etc.? I'm a little concerned with getting the two types of felt to seat equally. I realize that alot of pianos have combinations, it's finding the right combination that I'm worried about. Any wisdom?  Greg H.</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
