[pianotech] Unusual dampers

[Don Mannino]

Paul Monachino showed how to make this when he presented a damper class at a PTG convention.  Called "W" dampers, I think.  He learned to make them in the Mason & Hamlin factory in East Rochester.

  My bet is that they might have been made by Paul Monachino?
