I presume the cut sets I get for Steinways are from Steinway NY. 
Perhaps the clip, wedge and split are a bit softer.

After reading what Ed wrote I'd better stop presuming my felts come 
from New York because the ones I get are perfect and have none of 
those faults.

The box is labeled first in German and then in English Steinway 
Ersatzteil/Steinway Part, so perhaps Hamburg source their felt 
elsewhere.  I like the Yamaha felt for general use but the cut of the 
Steinway stuff is a big step further in excellence.  So it should be 
for the price.
