Del, The echo is the lesser of two evils, and I'm hoping the braiding will help with that. The biggest problem is the high harmonics that don't cut off on individual notes. That's where I'm hoping weighting and or trichord felt will help. Hopefully that will solve the problems. If the echo is still there after all that, I will try weighting in the bass as well. Jeff Stickney, RPT University of Montana jpage@selway.umt.edu If you're getting an echo--or a more gradual cut-off than desired--following a crashing chord, weighting one damper won't do much. Go through the bass and well into the tenor. At least an octave or so.
