The problem was solved! </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>    The dampers were a = little deeper, and I had to readjust the spoons, but other than that it was = pretty easy. Hate having to do that in the customers home on a piano that = they've only had for a few weeks, though.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>    The dampers came = with a little pad of felt on the back for gluing the dowels to; With the new dampers = lifting late, I surely didn't want to make it even worse by adding another 1/8th = inch to it, but since the pad is toward one end of the damper, I finally figured = out that you can just glue it to the other side. DUH! I should have thought = of that right away, instead of pondering it for about five minutes.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>    Yes, those little = pieces of felt DO absorb the entire energy from the plate and soundboard!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kevin E.
