[CAUT] Action Rail Flange Cloth

David:
 
That's a reasonable thing to do which I have simply never found it  
necessary to do, but now will consider it to be in my arsenal of tricks. Thanks.  
And I should have said, "...is supposed to hold to flange in  position...". 
:-)

You said “The  shape of the flange holds the flange in position.”  The 
shape of the flange sometimes holds the  flange out of position which makes us 
do strange things to align the  hammers in a given piano (gentle forcing the 
flange where it doesn’t want to  go, cross papering, etc.)  When I have 
used sandpaper or emery cloth,  I’ve found that it helps this alignment 
(however you force it) to stay put  better.

The  purpose of the felt is to reduce impact noise in the rail. The shape 
of the  flange holds the flange in position. Sandpaper would be, probably,  
inappropriate?

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
