Anytime, I replaced them, due to the contaminated felt. I never bothered putting new felt back on. I noticed no difference, so I don't feel it is required. John M.

Should the felt be replaced as well? Thanks for everyone's help on this issue. I feel like I can go back to the customer with some good information.

The felt on the hammer spring rail attracted moisture and caused the strings. Probably the hammer springs need replaced.
