Yamaha/Kluge Punchings

[Avery Todd]

Brent,

   Just some clarification for me. Which one is the firmer? Yamaha or
Kluge? You're putting the firmer punchings on the performance instruments,
right? Our Hamburg D is starting to get a fairly hard feel at the end of
the keystroke and I've been considering replacing the felt punchings. It
gets a tremendous amount of use. Advice? Thanks.
