Charles:

There have been threads on this in the past.  You might want to check the
archives.  Personally, I like something there, name board felt, Steinway's
rail felt, sandpaper something.  However, I don't think this is really a big
deal.  Since steinway's magic rail makes it more difficult to space hammers,
I like something covering that slick brass.

Subject: Steinway flange rail cloth


A question to the list:

I recently started a restoration of a 1960's Steinway B here at Kansas
State. Unfortunately it's a second generation restoration so some of the
action dimensions are questionable. My one quandary is the absence of the
sticky black hammer flange cloth. I know I could simply call Steinway and
order the part (costs about $2.00); however I've heard of technicians
using nameboard felt as a substitute. Or I could simply dispense with the
cloth altogether, as my predecessor did.

Any opinions out there on the subject?
