Hello all

Having just returned from Italy, Lake Garda (wonderful - included Verona and
Venezia) and Norfolk (delightful - I can also gaze out at the North Sea and
wave to Andre Oorebeek in Holland) I am back in harness and doing my school
rounds of 8-9 pianos per day. Meanwhile on the workshop front I've got to
the stage in my S&S'A' when all the new strings are on and now tensioned up
to about a M3 flat. I'm stripping the old damper felts, with their magenta
felt backing, and contemplating the best method of trimming the new damper
felts to the required oblique angle. Any ideas out there? You know what
happens if you don't approach this right - you get a nasty wiggly
un-acceptable cut. S&S did/does it without this. so how is it done?

Regards from a sunny Sussex village
