David Love,
There is basically the so called 'regular; Wurzen, which has been=20
developed over the last 14 years.
In the beginning of this development, this felt was kind of coarse=20
looking, like the VFG felt Abel uses.
Then, about 5 years ago, it was bingo time because the Wurzen felt had=20=

become more mature and was actually really good.
There were of course some minor points, like some sections being a=20
little hard or a little soft, but that is a matter of controlling the=20
pressure, needed to glue the hammers.
Today, those very same (Renner) hammers are far more consistent in=20
their overall pressure because of the (Renner) machine I was talking=20
about.
Then, not long ago, there suddenly was the Wurzen AA quality. This felt=20=

has been far more 'interlocked' and likewise is a little more dense.
It also looks different because one should compare it with the=20
difference between a real nice shawl and a real Kashmir shawl.
It not only looks different, it feels different and sounds different=20
too.
The regular quality looks like fine felt and slightly yellowish, the AA=20=

quality looks more creamy, like nice looking whipped cream or like the=20=

cream on a fantastic real Italian 'Capucci' .

I enclose again that nice pic of our first Bechstein prototype because=20=

that felt makes you wanna eat it :
I hope sending this pic does not create a problem.
