Hi Ed, As I have posted before, the Yamaha damper felt is a little more
efficient and it's the most accurately cut in the industry.  A real plus
for tri dampers. The Steinway stuff that I have been supplied with, I threw
in the garbage in disgust. one side of the wedge came to a point, the other
had a flat of about 1/16".  New an improved rubbish.
