Terry, Mike, List, If leather bushings are that much superior for not much increase in cost, why don't we all use them regularly? Is there something about them that makes fitting, installation, etc., more difficult? From what experience says, it seems like we should be putting leather bushings in. What gives?

I have already ordered a bunch of both thicknesses from Jugen Goering at Piano-Forte Supply. I suspect it is from the same source (but not sure). He went all the way to Germany for me to get it! Now that's service!

They sell it in strips and in two different thicknesses. The quality is very high also. This material is very expensive to buy by the skin as I do if you are only going to do one or two sets.

I use the Spurlock key bushing sytem with mortise sizing cauls. I've never done leather key bushings before, but might soon. Any comments or suggestions/tips? Terry Farrell
