Hmmm,  I think I have given offence. I wasn't my intention and I've done 
it by accident through being in a hurry.

Here's what happened. 

I had a whole load of pianotech mailings waiting to be read and I read 
quickly through them all, mentally noting the comments that had been 
made about overdamper pianos *without noting down who had said what*.

On this list, there are persons new or newish to overdamper pianos, and 
persons who have not used the Papps wedge.  You are not one of them, 
John.  Had I noted carefully who had made which points, I should have 
been more careful not to make comments from which any slur could be 
inferred.

I apologise.

D.

It may not be necessary for you.
But it is for me, as I like to make my job, as easy as I can.
Of course you can do it by 'feel', and I have,  but for me more light makes 
it easier.
I use a 18v fluorescent that came with my DeWalt cordless drill.
I think you were inferring, that I didn't know how to use a Papps Mute as 
well as you do.
I hope you weren't.
