Who holds the damper

Three hands. One loft.

The belfry rewards people who can refuse a brochure hang.

Strike hand

Opened the loft in 2008 after years ringing a church carillon on Broad. Stops cards that want a magazine hang before the clapper.

Overtone hand

Keeps the damper honest against the pad. Old Town resident. He files hang-time screenshots in the trash.

Prairie hand

Names west-wind hours and will not average a Minneopa gust with a still plaza afternoon.
