Steinway Parts Delays?

Hello all,

I notice that no one is recommending using Steinway New York damper felt.  I
service 2 NY Steinway D's that are a little over 5 years old.  I have
serviced them since they were new.  The damper felt, especially bass
trichords failed almost immediately(the felt legs began tearing)  S&S said
it was because of my muting method..  I would gladly accept this reasoning
although I have never had problems before with new Steinways.  I was just
wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.  Thanks.

Regards,
Steve
