Two felts better than one? / was: Andre's Front Punchings

[Richard Brekne]

To some degree yes. It rather has to. On some pianos these pressed felt 
punchings result in to much noise, and as Kent pointed out sometimes 
pianists simply want a softer feel.  I start with just the Wurzen 
conicals, and if its just plain too noisy  I put in a 1 mm Kashmir 
underneath.  The result is still quite a bit more firm then most, ilf 
not all, cloth punchings alone. Some of the green punchings available 
are downright mushy really. 

Cheers

    BTW why would putting a thin cloth punching under the conical, firm
    punchings at the key front not defeat the purpose of having a firm
    landing
    bed for the key which the Wurzen conical punchings provide on their own?
