Pianotek has the Ecsaine material to replace these items. There is some regulation to do because the new butt material is thicker than the old. Search the archives for my pix on the procedure. BTW, I think the Ecsaine catcher fabric is exquisite. It made an old Bluthner action come to life, a luxurious touch. Hard to believe the effect of changing the back check material to affect touch perception. I am also now a fan of the softer metal backcheck wires. Less impact seems to contribute to a smoother landing; less impact back to the finger. -- Regards, Jon Page
