<BR> If you can get your hands on some Yamaha damper felt in the US, there will be a big improvement. It's far more accurately cut, and seems more resilient. The Steinways that I have rebuilt using it, have been really improved. Now will that make it a Grey market Steinway. <G>

<BR>That's what Jeff suggested, that the Steinway dampers are not good enough. I will try some other damper felt to see if that improves it. Otherwise, any one know where I can get my hands on some contraband Yamaha bass damper felt?
