Yesterday I was called to tune an Everett Console. As I was tuning, I noticed that the A3 was not damping properly. Upon further investigation, I noticed that it was not a damper problem, but that the right string was right up against the center string. This was not allowing the damper to properly mute the center string. I loosened the offending string, slid it over to it's proper position. As I brought it back up to pitch, it slipped back over. I tried to file the capo a bit but was not really successful with the other strings in the way. I tried using my spacing tool to hold the string in position, while I pulled it up, but as soon as it was able it moved back against the center string. Finally, I cut a small piece of my felt mute and placed it in between the strings and it came up to pitch nicely and stayed in position. It worked nicely. It also looks funny. (See attached picture). What was the proper repair? I want to do it right when I go back next time. (But I don't think the owner will go for too much expense either).
