Is that something like, "measure twice, cut once?" :-)

<dd><font face="MS Sans Serif, Geneva" size=2>Take a careful look at the
angle (top to bottom) of the heads as they hit the strings. If the top
hits the strings just slightly ahead of the rest of the felt, I think
there's less of a zing than if the whole thing is trying to hit flat on
the strings. Seems like one of the major builders (Steinway?) actually
recommends this.<br>

<dd>Do you mean the FRONT of the dampers should contact the strings
first? I've seen this in new pianos before, and wondered why that
was the case. Makes sense<br>
