It is difficult to believe that bushings can be worn out in three months time. To preserve the felt or leather polish the pins with Flitz, available from Pianotek and use Glide-all or other teflon spray lubricant on FELT AND pins. This will prevent excessive wear. There is someone who advertises in the classified part of the Journal that has a collection of leather bushing material. Newton nhunt@rci.rutgers.edu
