Dear List,

A  1986 Baldwin SD-10 needs new tri-chord damper wedges.  The current ones 
look like two "W"s, attached at the center just above the middle string.  
What has happened is that the formerly smooth edges on the outside have 
become cut by the outer two strings.  Now the dampers hang up on the outer 
strings and do not dampen the middle string.  I have managed to make a 
temporary, sort-of fix by inserting string in the center of the damper, the 
string lands on the middle strings and sort-of dampens them.

Obviously it needs new trichords!  The problem is what damper felts to use 
and how to contact Baldwin if theirs are best.  Any advice will be greatly 
appreciated!

Diane
