What is a "damper"?
A damper is a device found in stringed and keyboard instruments, like pianos, that helps control the sound. In a piano, the dampers are small felt-covered pieces that rest against the strings to stop them from vibrating and producing sound. When you press a key, the damper lifts off the string, allowing it to vibrate and create a note. When you release the key, the damper returns to the string, stopping the sound. Dampers are also controlled by the damper pedal, which, when pressed, lifts all the dampers off the strings simultaneously, allowing them to vibrate freely and sustain the notes even after the keys are released. This mechanism helps control the duration, clarity, and sustain of each note played.
