Last summer I replaced the dampers in my grand. In the past months I'v=
e noticed that the mono string dampers, from A0 thru G#1, are hanging up and=
will not return<BR>
completely to the string after being played. After very close inspecti=
on I see that the bottom of the dampers, either side of the _/\_ are expandi=
ng out from being square and are now rubbing on the neighbor damper felt sid=
es.<BR>
Haven't had the problem before and need some advice on what to do. <BR=
>
Can one trim the felt sides of the dampers without damaging the damper beyon=
d its usefulness?<BR>
If so, what does one use to trim the felt?<BR>
Many thanks in advance.<BR>
