Jon et al, After further consideration, wouldn't adding adjusters and spoons be a LOT more work? Wouldn't I have to disassemble each repetition and (build a jig to) drill for each adjuster and spoon? This is not a high-end piano... current owners are waiting for the economy to turn around before they downsize, and they don't want to sink a LOT of money into it. That said, it does not perform up to her (she's the one who plays) none-too-high expectations, and she wants it to play better. They anticipate about another five years with the piano, at which time it may or may not go to an appreciative offspring. If anyone concurs, or feels strongly either way, I'm open to more feedback. As far as felt to replace the existing hodgepodge (see photo in original post), please advise. I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the array of choices of felt, and I'd prefer to do a vastly superior job to what the "refurbisher" did. Thanks!
