What Steinway sells for Model K damper felt is not the Kawai felt
(with the Kawai actions), nor was it the Renner felt when they were
getting the actions from Renner. It resemble the felt they put on
their shorter verticals. But the plain treble flat felt is as you
describe: "sugar cube" felt block at either end of a veneer platform.
If you get it from NY Steinway, the K scale damper felt probably
won't work in your V's bass or tenor. But you'll get the flats you're
looking for.
