Indeed.

Yamaha CF is excellent material although it is not cheap (CF felt is 
not the same as 'run of the mill' Yamaha felt). The only disadvantage 
is the plain felt is very thick. It is therefore a little more 
difficult to get it to sit straight. Furthermore, you may need to 
install new wires when using CF felt, since the heads sit a lot 
higher.
