<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Hi Everyone, I went to service one of my customers who owns a Gulbransen spinet piano.  one of the dampers in the bass e flat first octave just won't dampen unless I lift the bass sustain, guessing it's a spoon because a. the damper acts fine witn the pedal is depressed, and b. when I lift the key, the damper doesn't lift.  I took my finger and flicked the damper and it appears to have spring tension.  So m y question is this are there more than two types of spoon benders or are there only two out there?  I have one that connects to the combination handle and another that has it's own handle all one piece flatter design.  Do you guys have a easier way to get at the spoon in a spinet?  Thanks Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05@hotmail.com 215-510-9400 <A href="http://www.phillytuner.com/" target=_blank>www.phillytuner.com</A> Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind <A href="http://www.pianotuningschool.org/" target=_blank>www.pianotuningschool.org</A> Vancouver, WA </body> </html>
