I presume the cut sets I get for Steinways are from Steinway NY. 
Perhaps the clip, wedge and split are a bit softer.  As for the flats 
I don't know how they compare with the Japanese felt because I make 
all my treble felts myself from sheets of Laoureux (French) felt. 
This and the Steinway stuff is very similar if not the same.

I don't buy cut sets except for Steinway.
