Slow Hammer Return

[John Ross]

Anytime, I replaced them, due to the contaminated felt. I never bothered putting new felt back on.
I noticed no difference, so I don't feel it is required.

  A couple of people have mentioned the felt being the initial cause of hammer spring corrosion.  Should the felt be replaced as well?

   

  Thanks for everyone's help on this issue.  I feel like I can go back to the customer with some good information.

  Everett's from the 70's and 80's had a problem with the hammer springs breaking. The felt on the hammer spring rail attracted moisture and caused the strings. Probably the hammer springs need replaced.
