<< Friends,
 
 I service a 1976 Yamaha grand G2 that has felt on the music shelf.  How
 do I go about replacing the felt, and where do I get the felt (part
 number also, if you have it), to end up with a job that looks
 factory-perfect and will hold up well?  It's a sort of brown or cinnamon
 color.  Thanks.

Hi Clyde,

Did one of these myself.  Like Ron suggested, scraping with a chisel worked 
for me.  I looked in all the piano parts suppliers for the same color and 
didn't have any luck.  With the customers OK I  went with black felt from 
local fabric store and it looks good and is holding up well.  This was three 
years ago.  Used hot hyde glue and a roto cutter for sizing the felt.  It 
looked factory if I do say so myself.
