Where do I get such blocks of felt?  Do I make them?  Must I order them?
 
My appointment ins this Saturday.  I am not sure if I have enough time
to order any...if they are available.
 
I'll check in Schaff.
 
Thanks

Most pianos have a block of felt glued to the hammer rail felt in order
to stop the rail rise against the action bracket.  This is a regulation
that must be done on all upright actions when you install a new action.
It is something that was missed at the factory.  Kimball missed lots of
things at the factory.

I have a client who's Kimball Console piano hammer rail has too much
travel when the soft pedal is fully depressed.  In other words, it gets
too close to the strings, making the keys play very sloppily and
inconsistent.
 
I have received good advice from my mentor regarding how to limit the
forward movement of the hammer rail, but I am still nervous on how to
combat the problem and eliminate the excess travel.
 
The customer has indicated that when the pedal is pushed down 1/2 way,
she can play the piano with much better consistency...it feels better,
not so sloppy.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions for this situation?
 
Thank you.
