Can anyone save me some time by recommending the right complement (sizes;

narrow bi-chord/wide bi-chord, thickness of flats, etc.) of felt strips?


Will use Renner (USA) most likely, however,  has anyone used the Yamaha felt

on a "D"? >>

Greetings, 
    I am not happy about the looks, but the quietest felt I have found for 
the D is the Steinway factory felt.  A factory sponsored technician told me 
to be sure and order the Hamburg felt if I wanted a very even cut, but the 
New York felt functions beautifully.  ( our latest temperament recording 
project began with a brand new set, and there was no zinging to be removed in 
the mix!)
