[CAUT] Steinway Pedal Bushings

[Jim Busby]

Ken,

 

(I dunno.) We bought a box of leather scraps from Tandy and there are
various sizes, etc. It can't be too hard/thick or too thin/soft. Not as
thick as shoe leather and not as soft as backcheck leather. Bendable but
not flimsy... (See! I dunno...)

Hmmm, that's interesting.  What sort of leather do you use?  Something
not too thick, and quite flexible, I suppose.  Would it be something
like the gasket leather I get for player pianos & reed organs?  Please
elucidate.

Thanks,
Ken Z.

I also like leather and I prefer the Protek thick lube instead of

Ken,
 
I like leather better than cloth.
