Jack: I leave the damper on. Here at the school I have to replace lots of broken strings so I get lots of practice. If you're careful you can work the string under the damper without damage. Of course, a majority of the treble strings that are broken don't have dampers. dp David M.

When replacing a string do you remove the damper or leave the damper in? Does it matter? I would like to hear what you all do.
