<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sarah asked: "<FONT face="Times New =
Roman"
size=3>QUESTION: Is this the sort of problem that will go away =
by itself,
as =<BR>the new dampers continue to seat? Or am I using the =
wrong
wedges? Or =<BR>perhaps I should "skinny down" the tips of these =
wedges by
filing their =<BR>inside surfaces with an emery board?<BR><BR>Thanks =
for any
advice!<BR><BR>Sarah,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" =
size=3>I'd suggest the
"damper pliers" from Renner. A trick is to heat them. Use a coffee =
warmer or
some other mild heat source. Give the tips of the tri-chord dampers a =
"pinch".
The hard part is getting each "tip" the same as the others. Takes a =
little
practice, but works well.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
