You are right Joe. For long term success it is probably best to change the hammer springs and the felt.

The felt on the hammer spring rail attracted moisture and caused the strings. Probably the hammer springs need replaced." Matt, That is incorrect. The Felt was the culprit, but it was not "neutralized" in the felting/dying process. It still contained an acid, which corroded the springs. FYI<G> Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
