Old upright dampers are a pleasure in and of themselves. =20

The best suggestion I can give you is to contact Bill Spurlock and use =
his damper  method.  His website is:  http://www.spurlocktools.com/

On his price list is a section where he sells "instructional pamphlets"  =
There is one for vertical damper replacement.    Cost is $2.50.    It's =
value is closer to  $250.00.  It's really underpriced.   =20

I have both replaced the same size dampers and also replaced with longer =
dampers.  Longer dampers are not always better and sometimes can make =
the problem worse. =20

Bills pamphlet goes through all of the variables that you need to factor =
in.  The $2.50 cost is nothing and a few days wait is nothing compared =
to the information in his pamphlet.

  A customer has a big old Everett (full size upright), and is =
complaining about too much "echo" (i.e., overtones).  I've agreed to =
replace the dampers,which are old and worn, and noticed that the bass =
dampers are 1 3/8".  Does anybody know if (1) any older uprights =
originally used dampers this size and (2) if old-style, 1 3/4" bass =
dampers would do better blocking out harmonics.  Thanks in advance
