Andre's Front Punchings vs Schimmels

I am.  I replace even new punchings on grands to the owners amazement
at the improvement. Even the ones coming through the shop for resale.

A few Asian verticals have come through also with conical green woven FR
punchings. The first one sounded like it needed voicing but after I noticed the
punchings were mixed in regards to their shape orientation, I placed them with
the narrow side on top and the voicing problems went away.

But the Wurzen felt punchings have a more positive landing and less discrepancy
in key travel between pp and ff.

I also prefer the Crescendo Balance Rail Punchings for their stability
maintaining a key level when new and a solid pivot for the key.
