Maybe Steinway has different specs that Hainesworth meets. But Pianotek¹s
seems much like Renner¹s, Spurlock¹s and Schaff¹s to my eye and feel
(Charles House and Hainesworth were somewhat different when Charles House
was available). All the recent felt is less dense than what we got when
³extra-quality² first became available, but it is available in much more
variety of size, which is great. I thought the earlier cloth was too firm,
and the current is a little spongy. But considering the fragile nature of
the piano cloth segment of textiles, I am grateful for what we have.
