Why use the stuff? I've been building these things up using laminate maple veneers for years. It takes a bit of gluing and sculpting but the result is you get a string that doesn't lie against the plate, going up to the tuning pin. Sorry I couldn't locate a picture right off. I'll look again later.

Doug Wood School of Music University of Washington The fiberboard they use in the understring felts should be part no. 006894. I tried to find an alternate supplier, but no luck.
