Rebuilding Grand Backchecks

[David Love]

I've given up rebuilding them.  It's just a lot easier to replace and you
get tighter fitting leather.

I will be rebuilding a set of grand backchecks. I seem to remember a recent
discussion on escane (sp?) instead of leather - is this good - is this
available - where? Or, if not, who recommends leather from where? Also, I
don't see grand backcheck felt in the Pianotek catalog - what kind of felt
is used under the leather?

 

I searched the archives, but came up empty.
