Kent: Depending on the length of the pin, sometimes the damper tray can be moved far enough to free the block and do whatever you want to fix it. If the pin is very long, the tray can't be moved far enough without stressing the damper wires. It's worth a try. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 9/27/01 at 9:46 PM Kent Swafford wrote: >My current pet peeve is the damper pedal noise that can come from the bass >end block that serves as the mount for damper tray. > >Its corner position provides several surfaces that the block can move >against enough to make extra noise.
