[CAUT] preferred damper felt

[Albert Picknell]

I order strips from Yamaha and cut them myself (using Spurlock's damper felt cutting block).  The strips are about 50 cm long.  Part numbers are:
 
T5390110 - Singles
T5390120 - Bichords
T5390130 - Trichords
T5390140 - Flats
T5390150 - Singles for concert grand
T5390160 - Bichords for concert grand
T5390170 - Bass Trichords for concert grand
T5390180 - Tenor Trichords for concert grand
T5390190 - Flats for concert grand
 
Hope this helps.
Albert

Yamaha felt is only available from Yamaha, right?

I've always had good luck with Yamaha felt, but I also like Steinway felt as well.  I never learned more about dampers than from Ken Sloane at Oberlin.

While we are on the subject of dampers, I would like to hear what brands of damper felt has proven most effective for you all over the years.

You may select different kinds for different situations and that would be good to hear about as well.

One friend in a large rebuilding shop told me he always uses Steinway felt - on all pianos.  

I have tried Renner, Steinway and the basic Piano Tek felt (?Tokiwa).  The jury is still out for my favorite.

Damper work, to me, is one of the most challenging areas of rebuilding and I hope we will continue to discuss it.
