[CAUT] Steinway Pedal Bushings

[Ken Zahringer]

You guys are so high-tech, it¹s scary :-)

Seriously, though, thanks for the idea.  I¹m going to try out some leather.
On a couple of our more heavily used practice rooms, the cloth will only
last a year or two.  I¹m also going to look for a burr next time I take that
one apart.

Thanks,
Ken Z.

(I dunno.) We bought a box of leather scraps from Tandy and there are
various sizes, etc. It can¹t be too hard/thick or too thin/soft. Not as
thick as shoe leather and not as soft as backcheck leather. Bendable but not
flimsyŠ (See! I dunnoŠ)
