[pianotech] Damper guide rail bushing cloth

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Thanks Paul. Great way to measure. I do mostly Steinways and have never had the problem of different size damper rail holes. This one is a Chickering, so my old cloth may not have worked.

  Al:

  Generally, damper guide rail are not all the same diameter hole. You need to make a tapered test strip of cloth, pull it through the hole until it is satisfying your needs, then measure the width of the cloth at that point. Then transfer the measure to a piece of bushing cloth and tear a strip of the proper width.

    Dear List,

    I had a good supply of damper rail cloth that I had been using for years. I used the last of it, last year. I ordered some new and see it doesn't have the cuts along the edge (similar to flange bushing cloth) that my old damper rail bushing cloth had. Can anyone give the proper width, to save me some trail and error tears.
