And if you have, for instance, a pianist who likes to "taper off" the damper pedal at the end of a long trill or appogiatura, you will get remarkable oinks and groans from the long dampers!

Well, the dampers were actually dampening to a certain degree all the time, because they were quite clearing the strings (Just look, some of those babies are hitting the guide rail!).  So, it went from somewhat dead tone a clear, clean sound.

Barb,

How did the sound change?  (Other than eliminating the "whoosh"!).

Just for fun, here's a picture of a set!  The piano sounded much better with the damper felt out of the way.
