Understanding that most piano rebuilders have little-to-no experience installing damper actions, Wessell, Nickel & Gross has developed a comprehensive set of tools and procedures to help them install a WNG Damper Action into any piano. The Damper Installation Kit includes a Damper Action Measuring Tool, a Damper Flange Rail Punch, an Under Lever Center Height Gauge, and a Damper Pickup Half Stroke Gauge. The kit is meant to be used with WNG’s Damper Action Installation Procedure, which is divided into seven parts and can be found below.

• 1. Selecting the correct WNG damper action
• 2. Create a damper action scale stick from the back of the keys
• 3. Drill the WNG damper flange rail
• 4. Drill the WNG damper sustain tray
• 5. Assemble the damper action
• 6. Install the damper action
• 7. Determine underlever center height using half stroke principles

Damper Action Measuring Tool

This invaluable tool quickly and easily performs the following operations:

• 1. Tells you if a WNG damper action will fit inside your piano.
• 2. Helps you pick the correct spoon length for your piano.
• 3. Gives you the correct mounting block thickness for mounting to the belly rail.


Damper Flange Rail Punch

The WNG Damper Flange Rail Punch is perfect for marking a flange rail for drilling.

Under Lever Center Height Gauge



This tool allows the technician to effortlessly arrive at the proper underlever center height for the damper action.

Damper Pickup Half Stroke Gauge



The Half Stroke Gauge makes it easy to create a half stroke relationship between the height of the underlever center pin and the spoon pickup to the key.

Use for accurate determination of resistance in shank and repetition flange centers and all pinned articulating parts to ensure they operate within defined tolerances.

The most notable refinement we’ve made to this familiar tool is in its smoothness. Typically this tool has unpolished steel rods that slide inside holes in the bare aluminum itself. That just means too much friction can develop and possible binding, even when lubricated. So you have to work that much harder, placing unnecessary stress and strain on your hand and forearm especially when repinning complete sets of parts. We’ve polished the steel rods and added bronze bushings for them to slide in. Because of the smoother non-binding operation we are able to use a lighter gauge spring for further stress reduction. Has a replaceable screw-in pushpin. Finish is black anodized aluminum to keep the metal from staining your hands during extended use. WNG logo is laser etched.

What Options Should I Choose? If you have any questions regarding what options to order with or how to order your damper action, please download the Custom Back Action Process instructions. You can specify a custom damper action by following these steps: 1) If you want WNG to supply damper heads and wires you will need to: - Establish the number of dampers in the piano. - Establish the number of bass dampers. 2) Determine which flange rail to use. 3) Determine which under lever combination of - Mounting flange (If using the Spring Flange how many notes with assist springs.) - Top flange height - Spoon Length - Leading pattern 4) Determine whether or not you wish WNG to supply a sostenuto rod installation kit. Please note that this costs an additional $75.00.

Can you drill and tap aluminium rails? Drilling and tapping aluminium isn't difficult, but it is different than wood. You'll need aluminium tapping fluid, a 3.3 drill bit, and a M4.7 thread tap before you can start drilling. Please note that WNG does not include these materials with its damper actions. However, you don't have access to or can't find them, WNG offers them in a kit or you can buy them individually via the links below.

• 1. Aluminum Tapping Fluid
• 2. 3.3 Drill Bit
• 3. M4.7mm Thread Tap
• 4. Damper hole tapping kit (includes all of the above)

WNG offers a Sample Parts Kit to aid technicians in determining which parts will work best on a specific piano. The kit consists of several pre-assembled shanks and repetition assemblies that will fit most common piano brands and which can be installed on a trial basis. It also contains a variety of flanges, shanks, and knuckles so that a custom action can be built to match most pianos. With nine different repetition heel heights that can be placed in fourteen different positions, a technician has the ability to experiment with different combinations to improve the geometry of the piano action.

For use on pianos 8' (244cm) and larger, with legs cut to the proper length for the added height of the caster. Set of three includes two casters with a brake and one caster without a brake. *Please note that this item is back ordered, call (916) 567-9999 x727 for estimated ship date*
