what about those things that cause cupboards and drawers to close slowly at the end instead of slamming shut? anybody know what they are called, or where to buy them?
A friend suggested using a foam block that is dense only on one end... as the pedal comes down to rest on the foam, it's rate of deceleration increases as it compresses the more dense areas near the end. See any merit to this?
That's a great idea! Do you think there is a small one which allows free motion except for at the very end of the cycle, probably 1/8" or less of restricted motion right at the end of a 1/2" total motion?
Hello all,
I am a live sound engineer looking for a creative way to slow down the dampers on a grand piano as the pedal is released. When the piano pedal is depressed, the dampers lift off of the strings, and when the pedal is released, the dampers come back down on the strings to mute them...
