It's a relatively quick way to effect a significant reduction in pedaling noise in those cases where the customer is reluctant to spend the money on a more complete job. - Mark Dierauf -----Original Message----- From: Farrell [mailto:mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com] Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 5:43 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Damper Thump Noise 1950-ish Baldwin L grand, all original. Raise dampers with pedal and then release pedal. Dampers make quite an audible thump. Remove action and manually lift a dozen or so dampers and you get a similar thump - it is especially prominent with the bicords - very little noise from the flat dampers. Is this nothing more than the sound that 55 year-old grand dampers make? That is my strong suspicion.
