Dampers Pluck Strings

Carman,
 
Not quite plucking, but grating and chafing, for sure.  Then buzzing  when 
they re-seat.  I've used teflon powder before.  I've also filed  crust off of 
damper felts with a nail file.

My client with a 1979 Baldwin spinet complained of excess  noise when she 
depressed the damper pedal.  My examination showed  that the unichord bass 
damper felts had somehow gotten sticky and would  "pluck" those bass strings 
when lifted.  Anybody ever seen  that?

My quick remedy was to dust talc powder onto the face of the  sticky damper 
felts.  Problem solved.
