Hi doug, In my opinion the felt you are talking about acts like a softener, a = shoch absorber. Take for instance the dampers in an upright, they usually all have = thick felt pieces plus the lining felt in order to soften the contact = between the strongly vibrating string and the damper block. what do you say? friendly greetings from: Andr=E9 Oorebeek CONCERT PIANO SERVICE Hartenstraat 6-2 1016 CB, Amsterdam the Netherlands Tel/Fax: 020-6237357 email: oorebeek@euronet.nl
