An asymmetric Stockbridge damper having at least six and as many as ten resonant frequencies. The damper includes two assemblies, each having a primary weight at the end of a messenger cable and two secondary weights at the ends of thin beams. The thin beams are mounted at one end to the primary weight and each support a secondary weight at an opposite end. The thin beams extend parallel to the messenger cable. The messenger cable is affixed to a clamp assembly which clamps to an overhead transmission line. The clamp assembly includes a toggle crank generating a theoretically infinite clamping force on the transmission line.
