S&S "L" Damper felt

[Lance Lafargue]

Who supplies Tokiwa?
I have found the Schaff precut to have wedges lopsided and the thickness of
flats not the same as tri wedges for the tenor also.  I find Yamaha and
precut Steinway _from Steinway_ to be the best.  I have lots of precut from
Schaff I'd like to get rid of.

The only problem I've had with the Schaff sets is the thickness of the flats
not matching the thickness of the trichord splits creating a problem where
both are used on the same damper head (the flats have been to thick). You
can peel them, of course, but I've found the Tokiwa sets more consistent
that way and of very good quality.
