[CAUT] Action Rail Flange Cloth

[Paul T Williams]

David,

Was the bare rail made sticky in any way?  Did you glue down the 
sandpaper.  I've never seen sandpaper on a Steinway rail, but have on lots 
of Baldwins.

I’ve used the adhesive-backed nameboard felt, I’ve used sandpaper, emery 
cloth and genuine Steinway sticky felt.  I don’t think it makes a lot of 
difference.  I’ve also seen just bare rail – like the wippen rail – though 
I haven’t done that myself.  I don’t think it’s a critical link in the 
circle of sound.

We used to use the Steinway provided black adhesive backed tape. Why pay 
the price. The adhesive-backed brown nameboard felt available from any of 
the other major vendors is quite inexpensive and does the same thing.

Hi All, 

What do you all use for action rail flange cloth, or do you just get some 
from Steinway or wherever...? 

This L I'm working on is in bad shape. I took the old hammer flanges off 
today and the cloth underneath literally disolved in my hands into dust. 
Has anyone used stringing braid cloth? 

Thanks 
Paul
