I don't think it was the lack of Mass = in the damper which allowed the condition, rather it was the lack of = damping the important nodal points. To this end "Fly Dampers" were used. = I haven't seen any of these fly-dampers in new pianos, but the principle = was that a little damper (usually square, not round) was attached to the = normal damper by a piece of thick wire - like grand damper wire - this = wire bypassed the hammer operational area and had the fly damper = attached to its end. I hope this is descriptive enough to give a mental = picture. Some manufacturers applied this principle extending it to a = fly-damper unit... Was there no end to it? The George Rogers piano was = the main user of this principle. Regards Michael G (UK) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
