(One thing is apparent, the relationship of the flanges and its attached parts does change with the cloth removed.) Keith A. McGavern, RPT kam544@ionet.net I have understood that the only purpose of the felt or cloth used on Steinway hammer rails was to help the flange conform better to the rail. I don't think it changes the relationships of the parts appreciably.
