You can replace it with felt if you wish but the brass bearing bar works better. I've been replacing the original felt with brass half-rounds or half-ovals for some 30-odd years and have found no reason to go back. I agree with Ron. Polish it and move on. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com Phone 360.736.7563 -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of limhseng at gmail.com Sent: Sunday, September 26, 2010 1:22 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Steinway brass plate Thanks Ron Is it alright to replace it with understring felt during restringing? Can I replace standard parts for the tied parts? I am not sure whether they supply those tied parts anymore.
