Hello, I am replacing the felt and the hammer cloth on the hammers of my upright piano

Regarding the direction of the felt, it should be smooth when the jack pushes upwards and obviously rough when the jack descends

Does the same apply to the hammer cloth? Or should it be the opposite?

I will try to explain myself better...

When the hammer "falls" back, should the parameter slide on the smooth or rough side of the felt?

Hi everyone! I started playing again as an adult after a long time and I am very interested in digital and hybrid systems, but reading these discussions on restoration, I'm taking the opportunity to learn. In this case, I wouldn't know how to answer with certainty, so I am following your exchange with curiosity!
