I once broke a long (unwound) tenor string in an S&S A (not sure if A2 or A3 ...) and I had the very devil of a time getting the damper to work after I replaced it. Well, it sort of worked, but had a nasty overtone whine, even after I replaced the felt. I finally got fed up with it, and put a small square of flat felt in between the two main pieces, near where the wire went by. It worked great! And it couldn't be seen once installed. Then, I noticed that all the tenor dampers had at least some of the same problem, and probably would have worked better with a third small piece of felt. I did one more which was particularly obnoxious. Susan ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
