Hello all, As I've just finished up trimming the key end felts in a new S&S (they were rubbing on the under-levers, causing the keys to not return), I'm wondering if any of you have a super-slick method for doing this, whether mopping up, or just having replaced the end-felts yourself. I just did it using a VERY sharp 1" chisel. I turned the key over on the edge of the bench so that only the underfelt is resting on the bench, press down a bit to make the felt a little more firm, and then slice the offending material off. It worked, OK, but not great. Any ideas for something better? Many thanks, William R. Monroe Madison, WI Assoc.
