List, Just brought a Weber Grand into the shop for some work. This instrument was recently mauled by another technician, and I'm going to be trying to undo a lot of sloppy work. Among other things, the customer was particularly upset that the last guy,"used red felt on the piano, when it originally had lovely green felt". Looking in the catalogs, most of what I see for use on the plate is red. Anyone know where there is a choice of green? (The closest thing I see is green backcheck cloth.) This leads me to another question. Does anyone have experience dying cloth and felt so that everything is the same shade? Is it possible for one to buy white cloth and dye it whatever color they want? And if so, is there anything in available dye (like RIT dye) that could damage the music wire. Dyeing to hear any and all comments. Gordon Large, RPT Maine
