<DIV>I recently installed my first Renner damper underlever kit. It is
well made and the included instructions are detailed and clear.
Installation went well. Yesterday I did a final regulation on the
dampers. I had set the timing a little too early so I had to reset all the
dampers. What is often a long and tedious job was finished in 20
minutes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Keep in mind these parts incorporate some very radical concepts.
First, the holes in the sockets line up with the hole in the lever. This
makes damper wires go in easily and adjust precisely. Also, the screws are
made in such a way that tightening them does NOT turn the wire 30 degrees!
Finally, the slots in the screws are crisp and well cut so that a screwdriver
actually stays in the screw while turning.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This assembly and the parts really does make one think about swapping out
old damper assemblies even if the old one were still "serviceable". Now if
they would just come out with a sostenuto retrofit kit.</DIV>
