Hello List & Capt. Joe G. who said (inter alia):
"the damper lift felt, (proper name<G>)"
I beg to differ, Joe ;-)  It's really called a Damper Tail Felt. Not to be
confused with the Damper Lift Rod.... Heh!heh! <G> On some pianos it is not
felt atall (do pianos have feelings?) It is leather. On even some other
pianos it is Felt covered by Leather. And in some there's even a nifty
slot-headed "Grub-Screw" for individual adjustment of each damper to the
Damper Lift Rod. Gad! What a todo! Must be Tea Time (more muffins?)

horribly poetic)
