I'd be tempted to = experiment with other glues like Titebond in the shop first to make sure = it didn't go too far into the felt (maybe use sparingly and let air dry = until tacky???). Have you used the Renner bushing felt before? Be sure to use their = training tool (to get the felt to go through the flange easy.

I emailed = them. Do you have to call them to order, THEN find out the cost? If so, = that would be very Steinway of them. I guess for field repairs, one could dab on a little Titebond. Alan R.
