[CAUT] Bösendorfer question

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Alan,
               Get your leather from Jurgen at Piano Forte he sells it in 
several thicknesses, 0.1mm increments. I use it with the nap towards the 
pins, dusted with micro fine Teflon powder. No squeaky leather.  If my 
memory serves me correctly I use 1.1mm.

Regards Roger
