<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite">...It would be easy for makers to fit a
proper una corda action to uprights without any extra expense but apart from
Blüthner in the old days I know of no other maker that did this for an
underdamper action...These actions are very easy to work on and regulate,
having the added advantage that the hammers are screwed on at the back, as
in an overdamper action, so they are easy to remove without touching the
levers.</BLOCKQUOTE>
