Hi,
Perhaps a check of string level at the point that the damper touches the =
string will show that there needs to be some adjustment to the string =
and not the damper.

  The problem might not be with the felts, or how you put them on. I've =
run across this in the past. The problem is there is not enough weight =
on the damper lever to pull the damper down on the string to stop the =
vibrations. The only solution is to add weight to the damper lever. If =
there is room on the lever to add a key weight, then that is the easiest =
solution. If there are already too many weights in there. the only other =
way I can think of is to add a fishing weight tot he damper wire.=20

  Anyone else with a better idea?
