Grand Dampers

[John Ross]

This ends up being an awkward set, too.
I have to use two different sets to make the one. They go really narrow at the treble, so the normal tapered strip doesn't work.
I read that the stitched damper acted quieter/better than the flat pads.
It is a Heintzman Semi-Grand, and they knew what they were doing, that is why I want to stick as close to the original as I can. 
They wouldn't have 'penny pinched', on dampers.

  I just did a set like that I didn't do anything special, but I used the red backed damper felt and didn't have much of a problem with the centers not adhering.

  I do know you don't need to replace the stitched felt with stitched felt, the companies that produced grands that came with that kind of felt just ordered the one kind of damper felt for uprights and grands making it easier for them. As long as you get your length right you can replace the stitched with block type and have no problem. 

  I had planned on doing that on the set I just did but didn't have the right size/type damper felt on hand and needed to get it done.
