Dale asks: >>Has anyone used the Damper felt from the Steinway plant in Queens? It seems softer than the Japanese stuff I typically use. Its not that expensive...IMO I have used the factory felt, and still can't understand why all the blocks are crooked and 90% of the trichords have one leg that is considerably thicker than the other. I can "pull" the legs on the trichords to make them make more evenly, but never found a way to use the blocks without gluing them on offset to meet the strings. I have examined numerous new Steinway pianos, and don't see any of the blocks leaning over like the ones they sell me, so what gives? It is like the Renner pinning: the major expense is not in the purchase, it is in the time it takes to make it work...
