Wippen Cushion Cloth Replacement

[Gordon Holley]

Ed, thanks for the info.  Now, I attempted to find a phone number for 
the Steinway Part/Service Depart and found was a number for 
merchandise such as jewerly, sweaters, etc., 1-718-721-2600.
Would this be the same phone number?
And will Steinway ask for a serial number of a Steinway piano before 
they will sell any parts?.  Here's why.
These wippens look exactly like the Steinway Wippen as depicted in 
the "Piano Parts & Their Functions" book, or the Grand Wippen, #931C, 
Steinway pre 1984 style, as shown in the Schaff catelog.  
However, I have a dozen of these wippens, taken from "some" grand,  
that I am first going to replace the cloth cushions as a practice 
"educational" exercise, prior to the next action I work on that needs 
this replacement work done on the wippen cushions.  I want to be 
better prepared next time.  And the next time may well be my own 
Farrand Grand which I will "rebuild"  this spring/summer.
Joe Goss also suggested using steam on the dimples, I also tried that 
on the Packard upright along with the vodka as Susan Kline suggested.
Mixed results as I did say.
OK, now it's your turn again.
Regards, Gordon
