dancing dampers

Hi,
I've been a quiet lurker since last December.  I have enjoyed following
the discussions and have gotten some great  ideas from the group,
thanks.

Wondering if anyone might have a suggestion for a recurring problem
which I've been having with a small, fairly new, Zimmerman grand.
Several times now, I have adjusted the dampers.  I have determined the
proper length, and alignment of the damper lever wire and 'carefully'
tightened the screws so as not to let things 'move' out of alignment.
I've tried to leave the screws tight.  When I return they are loose!
Either the heads are  twisted or the damper wire has slipped or both.
One thing I was thinking about trying is to regulate them yet again, and
then put a tiny dab of thick CA glue where the damper lever wire goes
into the damper lift flange.  Could it hurt?  I'm open to suggestions.

                                            Thanks,
                                            Brenda  Mamer, RPT
