This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry, How about adding a key bushing felt strip to what's already there? It doesn't compress much and usually gets you really close. I don't worry about it being pretty since it's usually out of sight. ;-) When you say it's not easy getting hammer felt scrap "uniform," do you mean the same thickness? If so, how about removing some of the felt by sanding with 150 grit paper?

I've looked in the usual supply catalogues, but haven't seen them. Am I just NOT seeing it? I hate to just trim off old pieces of softer felt from whatever/whetrever...it looks sloppy and will compress in time becuase it's soft. I think it would be ideal to have dense felt squares available in 1/16", 1/8" and 1/4" sizes. wish I knew where to get it. I do kinda like the "screw" method of adjusting blow by turning the screw in or out, like I've seen on steinway uprights. Actually, I have tried cutting my own pieces from hammer felt scrap, but it's not easy getting them uniform. any ideas???
