This felt plays an important role. When the sustain pedal is pulled, the damper rail pivots, and this felt pushes up the damper arms. If dampers do not have enough lift, it can very likely be because this felt is too compacted. Because the damper arms are held down by the somewhat strong damper springs, the felt can easily become compacted. Because of this, some dampers can have more lift than others. Replacing this felt is a good step towards evening and leveling that out.
To replace this damper rail felt, the old felt should be completely removed, and any remaining glue or residue should be thoroughly cleaned off. Them securely adhere this felt where the previous felt was.
We currently are stocking this felt with an peel and stick adhesive backing for ease of installation.
