I tried that and only got one hit. For this particular thing, I had
better luck using<br>
"pitmans" or "pitman". <br><br>

Look up "Floating Pitman". <br><br>

<font face="arial" size=2>Anyway, speaking of damper systems and
trapwork--when I first started in the business, I was told by John Ford
(!), to remove the pitman, drill a little hole in the end to insert a
center pin (a small bit of the sharp side protruding). This would
keep the pitman in place and eliminate noise. Since I've come back
to work, I've read that folks make the hole in the keybed larger.
So, is it a toss up, or did I horribly damage all those pianos where I
inserted the center pin? <br>
