<br> <br> <br>   Jurgen dude<br>   Sign me up.  I love the way these old Mason & Hamlin Dampers are cut.  I find they add an extra measure of shut off especially on the lowest four or so bi-chords. as Long as they aren't the price of gold. grin<br>   Dale<br> <br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_f4f253c7-14c5-4df7-b90c-b5c08494f377 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff">Dampers shaped like an "M" for bi-chords sound like a good idea. However, my personal experience is that there is normally not a problem with regular shaped "V" dampers for bi-chords if they are seated correctly. For me, damping problems usually originate elsewhere. <br>  <br> Having said that, if there is a demand for this style of bass damper felt, I can get some custom cut from high quality felt. A factory minimum would apply to my order with the felt maker, but if there is sufficient demand I would be willing to stock this. <br> Anyone interested? <br>     </div>  <div id=AOLMsgPart_6_f4f253c7-14c5-4df7-b90c-b5c08494f377><IMG src="http://webmail.aol.com/35304/aol/en-us/Mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1.18412192&folder=New+Mail&partId=6"> </div>  <div id=AOLMsgPart_8_f4f253c7-14c5-4df7-b90c-b5c08494f377 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff">Jurgen Goering <br> Piano Forte Supply <br> (250) 754-2440 <br> <A href="mailto:info@pianofortesupply.com">info@pianofortesupply.com</A> <br> <A href="http://www.pianofortesupply.com/" target=_blank>http://www.pianofortesupply.com</A> <br>  <br> On Mar 21, 2008, at 13:03, Rick Ucci wrote: <br>  <br> >> List, <br> >> I was tuning a M&H grand (rebuilt very nicely about 8yrs, ago) when I >> noticed that the first six bichords from the bottom had damper felt >> shaped like an "m" with the felt touching both sides of both strings. <br> >> Has anyone else seen similiar?
