Hi Don: I would also be interested in knowing how the leather bushings work. I did hear from Willis Snyder in a class back in Buffalo at a NYSCON conference that he had found leather wore out just as quickly as felt in a heavily used piano. It would be interesting to here comments from technicians with first hand experience. How do you plan to glue them in? Will you use a single or double sided caul? I use heated double sided brass cauls (learned from Paul Kupelian) with hide glue applied directly to the felt in long strips and reheated by the cauls when installed. I would be interested in knowing if anyone has done this procedure with leather and had sucess. Rob Edwardsen, RPT University of Rochester > >
