keyend felt

[Mike Spalding]

Barbara,

The last time I ran into this, I cut the keystick down so that the 
Steinway thickness would fit.  Did it on the bandsaw, with the old felt 
still on there, and spent less time than it usually takes to remove the 
felt.   Might as well set up the piano to use high quality readily 
available materials.
