    thank you for your response.  I did not receive the lengthy post you referred to but your last post answered my question.  The fact that the suppliers offer a thinner felt for  wound tri-cords is good to know.

      Charles~

      Correction. On my previous, lengthy post to you I wrote:

      "This one (Scale 133) had the standard single and bichord wedges on both front and rear of the damper heads in the bass."

      What I meant was it "...had the standard single, bichord, and TRICHORD wedges on both front and rear of the damper heads in the bass."

      (As opposed to all pads in the rear as on the Scale 121 of earlier years.)

      -Apparently by 1915 Chickering decided they needed more wedges, especially in the bass.

      While the minds are on the chickering quarter grand,  what is the correct damper felt configuration for the wound tri-cords below and above the break.  This particular piano had the damper felts replaced but the tech used flat felts front and back on the wound tri-cords.  This can't be correct.  Needless to say, this one is a bleeder.  any help would be appreciated.
