Did you glue down the sandpaper. I've never seen sandpaper on a Steinway rail, but have on lots of Baldwins.

I don’t think it makes a lot of difference. I’ve also seen just bare rail – like the wippen rail – though I haven’t done that myself. I don’t think it’s a critical link in the circle of sound. dp David M.

Why pay the price. The adhesive-backed brown nameboard felt available from any of the other major vendors is quite inexpensive and does the same thing. P In a message dated 9/25/2009 12:34:13 P.M.

This L I'm working on is in bad shape. I took the old hammer flanges off today and the cloth underneath literally disolved in my hands into dust. Has anyone used stringing braid cloth?
