These are prone to be easily mangled when tightening underlever flanges. Additionally, if the instrument is out of regulation or one accidently depresses a key when pushing in the action they get mangled. One should always depress the damper pedal when pushing in an action, especially on one of these. These fragile felts also have gravity working against them and tend to come apart or fall off completely. That is probably the reason the newer grands have key end felts instead. -Mike Jorgensen
