5'2" Knabe Damper Installation
Photos showing the damper heads reinstalled with new damper felt. There are also pics showing a couple of the old felts, which were replacements for the originals and not properly fitted to the heads, both in width and length. Stock treble damper felt available today would not fit properly, so all treble felt was custom cut to fit the width of the heads correctly. Damper wires were cleaned and polished before reinstallation, and the damper guide rails were stripped and rebushed. Please click on a picture to see an enlarged version. Many pictures have comments along with them.
