Damper lever felts, dents in

[Isaac OLEG]

"low blade end" is the French name (literally translated from "bas de
lame").

It is action cloth, BTW, the use of backchecks felt here may induce
fast wear (and noise ?). If that have been done, may be someone
changed the dampers for thicker ones and installed thicker felt as a
fix for their move . I'll avoid that kind of things if it is so

When examination occurs the first time, it is a good idea to really
dismount the parts so we can have a better idea of the history of the
instrument. Also, you have something to show your customer, for sure
band aid fix are sometime all what the piano value, but you can't sell
them as the real job, and when the real job's price is given , the
customer does not process with the band aid .
