Protek CLP

Similar situation............................

When I rebuilt my Steinway A2 , I stuck
in a great wide piece of understring felt (looks lovely)
and was forthwith chastened  by a peer with
warnings about friction as string begins corroding.
But behold------the strings are on & the deed is done.

Proteck was applied as being discussed,
It feels good, and has yet to caused any problems.
Have not yet sensed a need to reapply.
Its been three, pushing four years.
If and when I put new string I will use less felt.
Perhaps you can use less felt in the rebuild then
is presently installed.
