Sarah asked: "QUESTION:  Is this the sort of problem that will go away =
by itself, as =3D
the new dampers continue to seat?  Or am I using the wrong wedges?  Or =
=3D
perhaps I should "skinny down" the tips of these wedges by filing their =
=3D
inside surfaces with an emery board?

Thanks for any advice!

Sarah,
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.
Best Regards,
