Description

Ouch! So you have double striking, weak dampers that allow after-ring you say? Ok, no sweat! You are about to discover what a great action feels like!

The damper arm is a critical action part for Fender Rhodes Pianos that must never be overlooked. Old dampers are responsible for poor action, double striking, and loss of articulation during repetitive play, not to mention weak dampening. Don’t overlook the importance of a strong damper and just replace the felts, only to realize the underlying cause was really the damper arm.

Here at Vintage Vibe, we know the importance of the dampers role in a Rhodes action and we never do a proper restoration without new damper arms.

Custom manufactured in the USA from the same aircraft aluminum as the originals, our dampers are correct replacements for all vintage Fender Rhodes pianos with single-leaf spring-style arms. We have modified and improved the original design to reduce damper bounce and flex, two symptoms of improper dampening.  

If replaced, we guarantee an improved action and playing experience on your piano. This will make you a more satisfied player that will show in your playing as well as your inspiration to want to play more.

We're proud to offer our new reproduction damper arm kits for 73 and 88 note pianos. These improved kits offer an extra section of arms (PRE-MIDDLE) to ensure the proper felt angle required throughout the Bass and Pre-Mid sections. In the Middle and Treble sections, which require different positioning than the previous sections, we've pre-formed the arms for proper damper felt angle against the tines. In addtion, we're also including Treble arms in each kit that are longer than the standard treble arm. These 7 3/32" length arms are for use in the extreme treble sections to deal with blocking issues that may arise. More information can be found in the What's Included and Installation Guide sections.

• Sold individually and in kits of 73 or 88.
