<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I often replace the underfelt on
backchecks due to wear or an insect buffet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>see my website, (services
page>backchecks>refelting) The only person that sells the proper
stuff is Jurgen at pianoforte supply. Call him and specify 2,3 or 4mm
thickness dense felt. Hot hide glue application of course. Good luck.

Backchecks</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will be rebuilding a set of grand backchecks. I
seem to remember a recent discussion on escane (sp?) instead of leather - is
this good - is this available - where? Or, if not, who recommends leather from
where? Also, I don't see grand backcheck felt in the Pianotek catalog - what
kind of felt is used under the leather?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I searched the archives, but came up
empty.</FONT></DIV>
