PIANO FELT PARTS
ORDERING INFORMATION: MINIMUM
ORDER: SHIPPING
POLICY: You MUST browse the Catalog area, and try to learn what you want. We no longer search our catalog for you. Have
this information ready: Make
sure you are in the catalog area for your kind of piano-- If you are confused, call us for assistance. If we do not answer the phone, we are probably here-- Just leave a message- we will
return your call (it may not be the same day). |
Felt is used in a piano to prevent wood and metal parts from
hitting each
other and clacking. Also, felt is the material of choice
for hammers and dampers.
It wears out very slowly, but it does
wear out. So new felt is
in order in restoration and in pianos which
get heavy use.
For all
parts possible I give you a diagram identity number so you
can go to the diagram
and double check to see if you are ordering
the right part. It is impossible
to give a "Back" button to return to
so many pages, so please use your browser's
"Back" button.
Also,
I give you a link to the page which tells how to make the repair
or installation
of the new part.
EXHAUSTIVE WORD INDEX OF THE WHOLE SITE:
FELT- A little science lesson with Uncle Steve
Felt
parts compress over many years, and the adjustment of the piano is pushed to the
maximum.
In a well done restoration these felts parts are a must. If
you think our felt is too expensive, let me
say this-- You pay 40%, or LESS,
mark up on all parts at this site. If that is too much, go away.
We
don't want to be associated with shoddy workmanship. I am serious about
this. We do not sell
to you out of desperation. Get your felt
at Wal-Mart.
Also,
carpet beetles, mice, and moths can eat away at felt parts. Please read
about moth proofing
in Chapter 7, #44. Also,
department store felt is almost all synthetic. Piano felt is at least 70%
wool,
and it is woven in two directions or even three.
Again, cheap felt is OK for making hats, but NOT in pianos.
A la carte felt parts are found below the following KIT
KEY
LEVER AND KEY BED RESTORATION KIT
NOTE: This kit is now available in two forms: with key pins and without keypins. For the kit without keypins price is $126.35.
This kit will restore
the physical operation of the key levers.
This will in turn make leveling
and adjustment of the action
much more accurate, and the touch will be improved
also.
If you wish to replace the key tops, go to the Key
Top Page.
Look for the Key Top Restoration Kit.
This Key Lever Restoration Kit contains the following:
1. SH336C- One set of 90 Front Rail Felt Bushings--
These cushion the key as it is pressed down.2. SH332C- One set of 90 Center Rail Felt Bushings--
The key lever rocks on this felt at the center pin.3. Front and Center Rail Paper Shims-- Our product-- See graphic down page.
Assortment of thicknesses-- These are needed to lever the keys.4. SH322C- SH324/Steinway Grands- SH324-/Grands- One Key Back Rail Felt (Cloth)--
The back end of the key lever rests on this strip of felt when the key is let up.
5. SH321 Key Button and Key Front Pin Bushing Felt-- Three strips of medium and three strips of thin provided. Also 2 oz bottle of glue.
This felt is glued in the center rail pin hole and in the front pin hole under the key lever.6. SP147-- Key Button Wedges-- One dozen are provided. Size .147 is provided.
It would be advised that you mic the center pin and front pin (across the flat) to make
sure they are both .146 diameter. If not, we can send the right size wedge for your pins.
This aluminum wedge is precision made to hold the key button felt in place as it dries.
-- See graphic --->
Mic. your center rail pin and front rail pin, the flat narrow way, in thousandths of an
inch so we can send the right wedges.7. SH304R- Name Board Felt-- TWO PROVIDED- This felt strip is self-sticking and attached to the fall board (name board) under the edge to rest on the back end of the key levers. It stops clicking of the key top on the wood, and it makes a nice accent. All pianos have this. The second strip is added in case some other accent felt is used on your piano.
8. One Hundred Center Rail Key Pins- Mic your center pins.
Old pins are rough and often covered with verdigris, and this slows the movement of the keys up and down. The nickel plated new pins slip easily and enhance motion.
Choose one of the following:
SH351A- 2-1/4 inches long by .146 diameter
or
SH351D- 2-1/4 inches long by .160 diameter9. SH352- One Hundred Front Rail Key Pins- 1-7/16 inches long by .146 diameter
10. Key Leveling Kit - Includes custom made straight edge and Jaras 3-in-1 Key dip and sharp leveler device, plus complete instructions.
PRICE: $ 306.35 (Without Keypins: $172.95)
Above is the price for kits with SH322 backrail cloth.
Substitute SH324- Add $ 25.00
Substiltute SH325-- Add $ 13.00Add a tool:
Jaras Electric Key Bushing Remover, Part Number SH909-- $ 49.00
This tool is like a soldering iron but with a tip which will insert into the bushing
hole and heat and melt the glue. Speeds up the process greatly.
This
kit cannot be changed, and felt not used cannot be returned. If a Kit Customer
finds they do not have enough felt for some task with this kit, we will sell
them
additional felt as needed with at-cost shipping, meaning, regular minimums
do not apply.
CAUTION: The key tops should be replaced before leveling
the key levers. If not, the
leveling will be all over the place. See our
Key Top Restoration Kit.

Policy
on Front and Center Rail felt punchings: PLEASE READ
ALL OF THIS
DO NOT
REMOVE OR DISCARD THE OLD PAPER SHIMS
UNDER YOUR FELT PUNCHINGS !!!!
Your original felt punchings
have been greatly compressed due to use and age.
This means that your measurement of the old felts cannot
be accurate.
Too many people
end up with new punchings which are too thin.
So, we no longer carry all the thicknesses.
We find that people end up with key dip troubles
by guessing.
You should
buy a set of paper shims for each set of felt punchings you are ordering.
The paper shims are down this
page just after the felt punchings.
This way, you can level the keys to the thickness of the new felt punchings.
Correct key dip, usually
3/8 inch, is essential to accurate adjustment of the action.
If you are not sure of yourself, ask about
it when you order by phone.
Also, it is not wise to do only the front rail, or only the center rail, punchings.
Only replacing center rail punchings
will result in too much key dip.
Only replacing front rail punchings will result in too little key dip.

PRACTICE MUTE AND RINKY TINK OR MANDOLIN KIT
Practice Mute Replacement
felt- 2 inches wide by 54 inches long and tapered
This felt strip is made to replace the felt mute in
old uprights that had it, and it
is found in some Asian pianos in modern times. You will have to remove the
old strip and fit the new ones. This
will involve making provision for the vertical
metal brackets mounting the action in the piano. Use Elmer's
Carpenter's Glue
to attach
the new felt strip to the old bar.
SH300 $ 19.75 each
Do-It-Youself
Rinky Tink or Mandolin Kit-- THIS IS A CONVERSION KIT
You MUST already
have a practice mute in your piano to use this kit.
Also, you will have to innovate and make the
products work for you. I cannot
write instuctions which will cover anything you will run into. This means you
will
need to determine where
the strings are in relation to the leather strip AFTER you
install the leather strip. You may do this by attaching
carbon paper to the back of
the leather strip facing the leather and run the front of the leather with a hard
object.
Remove the carbon paper,
and cut between the marks made by the strings on the
leather. You may also rub the strings with chalk and rub the
front of the leather.
This
will tell you where to cut the leather strip. You must have the confidence to
innovate because I cannot predict all
the variables you may encounter. Be sure to
clamp the metal tabs so that they are in a straight line, and position
the mute bar so that
the tabs
are just barely BELOW the actual point the hammer hits the strings. This will
prevent destruction of the hammers over
time.
3 inch by 48 inch leather
strip and 100 metal tabs to attach to the strip.
Instructions included which can be adapted to this conversion
process.

DAMPER FELT
Worn dampers do not stop
the wire from vibrating suddenly. An after-sound or fuzzy sound may follow
many
notes as the damper peddle is released. Also, dampers which have
gotten damp or wet will harden and cause
a buzz as they come to rest on the
strings (Bzzzrung). There is only one solution that lasts- NEW PARTS.

Upright or Grand Damper Felt by the Strip-
27-1/2" long each
I suggest you use this felt to do the bass dampers
on a grand piano.
Determine how much you will need by measuring the damper felt length
on all dampers, take a long look
at the patterns below, determine about
how much to add in height for compression and wear, then order the
amount of strips you will
need. Allow some for error :-) Also, you need
to use scarlet backed felt since your dampers
can be seen easily from above,
and without the scarlet the dampers will look weird.

UPRIGHT DAMPER BLOCKS
When
the wooden block needs adjusting on very old pianos, it is common for the set
screw to bind up and
break off. Also the wood can deteriorate and break. These
blocks will solve that problem. Also, in a first
class restoration, it will
be better to do all of the blocks so that the thing doesn't nickel and dime you
to
death over the years.

GRAND SCARLET FELT DO-IT-YOURSELF STRING COVER
Protect the strings, soundboard, and action from collecting dust and grime. This is VERY important if
you have a wood stove or fireplace in use all winter. This piece of high quality felt is laid inside the grand
piano string area when the lid is up. Expensive pianos are often displayed in this way. The red felt offers
a touch of class. Simply slip the felt out of the piano and give it a shake every day, and when you wish to
play it. Your sound board decal will always look fresh, and the action will not take dirt which can cause it
to slow down. AND, you can leave the lid up all the time for a more stylish look.This is 70% wool felt, so it will act as a physical barrier to humidity which falls out of the air, thus inhibiting
moisture on the string and tuning pin area.By the half yard, this felt is used between the brace and the under side of the top on Grand Piano Lids.
Action cloth above will not work since the brace is usually 54 inches long.Sold by the Yard-- 72 inches wide-- A minimum of two yards must be ordered.

Be
sure to measure carefully. You will
need to cut and hem the felt if you want
a tidy fit. You can find a very nice oriental
hem of gold and colored
braid at a Middle
Eastern shop in your area.
