Duaine Why did you take out the dampers? I is difficult, but the easiest way, using a SAT and without a strip mute, is to put a rubber mute through the action to dampen one of the strings for each note.

At first, I thought I would try it without taking out the dampers. Quickly found hat the dampers had to go. THAT was uite a challenge tuning with the whole piano zinging. Quickly figured out that he quieter I played each note the less ing you would get. Dang I wish I had a strip mute. - uaine Hechler iano, Player Piano, Pump Organ uning, Servicing& Rebuilding eed Organ Society Member lorissant, MO 63034 314) 838-5587 ahechler at att.net ww.hechlerpianoandorgan.com - ome& Business user of Linux - 11 years -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
