If there is any other quality bushing felt out there available to us techs, I’d like to know about it</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><BR>

I have to say that the Pianotek cloth does not look or feel the same as the Steinway stock. The factory cloth is much stiffer, and the appearance is certainly not the same. There is more fuzz on the Pianotek cloth and the nap feels softer. <BR>
