[pianotech] grand dampers

[Dean May]

Not sure what problems this would present to the next tech. if I understand
correctly, you glued on a screw to add mass with CA. Such a screw could
easily be broken off if desired. Seems like it would be about the same as
epoxying on a lead weight, just quicker and dirtier.

But the next tech?

 

 

Not to be cold, but considering the circumstances, quite frankly, I don't
give damn
