I've found that in heavy use/abuse situations that a new set of felt key bushings can be used up within a year. I've noticed some very ancient European pianos with the original Leather bushings intactand still well fit after a century of use. Is any one out there using leather routinely that can provide a bit of feedback as to the wear factor?
