Yamaha felt is only available from Yamaha, right?

I've always had good luck with Yamaha felt,
but I also like Steinway felt as well.  I never learned more about
dampers than from Ken Sloane at Oberlin.

While we are on the subject of dampers, I would like to hear what brands
of damper felt has proven most effective for you all over the years.

You may select different kinds for different situations and that would
be good to hear about as well.

One friend in a large rebuilding shop told me he always uses Steinway felt
- on all pianos.  

I have tried Renner, Steinway and the basic Piano Tek felt (?Tokiwa).  The
jury is still out for my favorite.

Damper work, to me, is one of the most challenging areas of rebuilding
and I hope we will continue to discuss it.
