"...it MUST have those red backs sandwiched between the damper felt and the
hardwood damper heads!"

 

Why?

Thanks, Terry, for your suggestions. You're right! I didn't mention what
type of piano. It's my S&S 'A' . So it's a grand - and it MUST have those
red backs sandwiched between the damper felt and the hardwood damper heads!
I'll bear your suggestions in mind for uprights though, Terry! Thanks for
the photos!

Regards

First of all, I have another question: why use backing felt/cloth at all?
You don't state if your question refers to vertical or grand dampers. When I
build vertical dampers, I felt the backs - you could do the other side the
same way for felt/cloth backing material. I cut new wooden backs and simply
glue the felt to the wood first, then cut the composite (felt + wood) on the
bandsaw. If you are trying to do grand dampers, then this idea wouldn't
work. But again, why use backing felt/cloth?
