<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thank you for your response. I did not
receive the lengthy post you referred to but your last post answered my
question. The fact that the suppliers offer a thinner felt for
wound tri-cords is good to know.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While the minds are on the chickering quarter
grand, what is the correct damper felt configuration for the wound
tri-cords below and above the break. This particular piano had the
damper felts replaced but the tech used flat felts front and back on the
wound tri-cords. This can't be correct. Needless to say, this
one is a bleeder. any help would be
appreciated.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
