[pianotech] Bass dampers

Unless there is a compelling reason to change what is there, I would suggest you use the same damper blocks as the originals. 

Replacing damper levers can be a challenge, but bending the wires before putting them back on the rail is the easiest way. Hold the old lever next to the new one, and make the bends, both front and back and side to side, and cut the ends off. Obviously you'll have to do some tweaking after the action gets back in the piano.

List,
hat are the advantages of using the dowels versus blocks when  
nstalling new dampers?
lso, has anyone ever replaced a set of damper levers, and how  
hallenging  was the wire bending?
