unusual dampers

? Sign me up.? I love the way these old Mason & Hamlin?Dampers are cut.? I find they add an extra measure of shut off especially on the lowest four or so bi-chords. as Long as they aren't the price of gold. grin

Dampers shaped like an "M" for bi-chords sound like a good idea. However, my personal experience is that there is normally not a problem with regular shaped "V" dampers for bi-chords if they are seated correctly. For me, damping problems usually originate elsewhere.?
?
Having said that, if there is a demand for this style of bass damper felt, I can get some custom cut from high quality felt. A factory minimum would apply to my order with the felt maker, but if there is sufficient demand I would be willing to stock this.?
Anyone interested??
