Hello List and Dave Nereson Thanks for the info. Seems to be a good case for: "If its old, replace" I doubt that 90 year old piano would have acceptable hammer felts now. As for the damper felt it is truly amazing how the sound of a piano improves with greater efficiency in damping from new felt. BTW my supplier (fletcher-newman.co.uk) has a great line in "ready cut" damper felts for Uprights and Grands. It's not a gimmick - cutting that thick felt without showing ridges and non-uniformity is virtually impossible - so I go for the "sets" of "ready-cut" every time. Has red felt backing too. Great time-saver. Tidy professional look. Regards Michael G (UK)
