PIANO FELT PARTS

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.

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 diameter

9. 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.

Instructions for using this kit found here online.

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 $ 13.00

Add 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.

             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.

[ Diagram I, Part 24 ]  [ Repair- Chap. 7, #14 ]

DAMPER FELT MOUNTED ON WOODEN MOUNTS

This is useful where the wood wedges are either dry and cracking or where you wish to have the convenience
of not gluing felt parts to wood. You may wish to also replace the blocks above to be sure the damper wood is
all new and the set screws easy to adjust later.

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.

               Here are the diagrams of the configuration of dampers above:
               

2A,B, & C dimensions: 3/8" wide at base; 1/2" high
3A,B, & C dimensions: 3/8" wide at base; 7/16" high
SH1550-1552 dimensions: 5/16" wide at base; 3/8" high

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.
