Damper Action Installation Tool Kit
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.

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.

Regulating Tool Kit

Drop Screwdriver

Unlike most drop screwdrivers, WNG's are intentionally made to be very short. This allows the technician to easily steady his hand on the shank flanges while regulating. WNG also offers two different versions of its Drop Screwdriver--one with a barrel and one without. The barrel helps to locate the tool on the drop screw, however, some technicians prefer not to have this barrel.
backcheck

Balancier and Jack Regulating Tool

The handle and tool tip are the same on WNG's Jack and Balancier Regulating Tools--the only difference between the two are their lengths. The Jack Regulating Tool is the ideal length to reach in to the regulating screw on the jack. backcheck

Let-Off

The WNG Let-Off Tool allows you to adjust let-off button eye screws during a bench regulation. The tool's length is ideal for steadying your hand on the shank flanges and its tip is relieved so that it will not bind on the regulating screw. *Please note that the WNG Let-Off Tool is designed for setting let-off on actions that use an eye screw. It is not the appropriate tool for dowel regulating buttons.* backcheck

Damper Hook

Typically, piano technicians remove the damper to make the topbend--a process that is highly inefficient. When pianos are being manufactured, factory damper installer workers make this same bend while the damper is inside the piano, resulting is much less wasted time. WNG's Damper Hook enables piano technicians everywhere to use the factory's efficient method of making topbend while the damper is still inside the piano.
backcheck

Dimension Gauges

WNG provides both metric and English gauges with the most common regulating dimensions used in bench regulations. backcheck

Backcheck Bender

The WNG Backcheck Bender was designed to be a comfortable yet functional tool with a slot to grip backcheck wire firmly and a tip with the ideal angle for bending backcheck wires. backcheck *Please note that this item is back ordered, call (573) 754-6690 for estimated ship date*

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.
Do You Need A Scale Stick? To complete your order of an Assembled Custom Damper Action, you will need to send WNG a completed Scale Stick. For information on how to order a Scale Stick Kit and instructions on how to use it, please visit our Scale Stick page.
