Chuck B. asked: " am replacing the damper felts on this turn of the century Steinway vertical piano. Should I just replicate the felts as shown or is there a better felt configuration. I can't tell if this is the original pattern or not. Except for being crusty and worn, they seem to damp well enough.

Thanks in advance."

Chuck,
It appears to be orginal dampers. (possibly a K-52?<G>) I've always duplicated as close to possible. Problem is, that finding high quality damper felt, like what was originally used, can be a bit difficult, IMO.
Regards,
Joe
