I have a job coming up where I'll be installing new = Tokiwa damper-levers and I'm wondering if it would make sense to go with the = Yamaha blocks to save on wire bending, get better damping, or both. Do the = Yamaha-style overdampers work on the Steinway (model "K")? I also understand that = these are supplied *without* the dowel damper blocks, and that the ones available = through Schaff are problematic. Anyone had any experiences?</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- = Mark</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
