Sources of Bushing Felt


Recommended Posts

It's a shame piano bushing felt is usually a garishly bright scarlet red with white fibres visible on the edge. Before I found Hainsworth Doeskin (100% wool) I attempted to dye piano bushing cloth black, and it didn't work well because the white part is a synthetic fibre that doesn't absorb wool dye.

Yes, thanks both. In fact I have some black fabric bought about 30 yrs ago from a haberdashery and used in my long ago abandoned dark room. It's about the right thickness so at the moment that’s what I use. I am curious about the doeskin so I might give that a go…

I sourced a black woven felt called Melton ME313 from Hainsworth some years back, not sure it's still available. It's 1mm thick and coloured all the way through but works well as long as you are prepared to ream out the holes if required.PXL_20221117_160719801.thumb.jpg.06f660e1461526ae4667301428a215fc.jpg It isn't as easy to work with as the scarlet felt, much more difficult to see what you are doing, for one thing....
