Do you have the dies?
Member
what are they? The fingerprints? I have to look, I don't know if I have something lying around the house
Member
They are sharp templates used to make the paper patterns; they are struck on a sheet placed over a block with a hammer
Member
Otherwise how do you prepare them? It would have been more convenient for you to order them
Member
To order ok, but there are various sizes and they sell packs of 1000. They range from 0.05 mm up to 2 mm, there are 13 sizes. Which ones could I get? I am looking on ftppianoforti.

But a pack of rosettes costs two euros, take the 0.20, the 0.10 and the 0.05, anyway you don't have to do anything big
Member
Where do they sell them for two euros? Where I look, they are on average around 5 - 5.80 per pack excluding VAT. It's not for nothing, what am I going to do with packs of 1000, I'll play tombola with them
Member
Try calling this and ask for the different sizes, for the center ones just take the one-tenth size

Generally, FTP also makes bags of 200, not 1000
Member
ok I see, thanks
Member
He doesn't respond on eBay and has an answering machine, in my opinion he isn't selling. At this point I could take 1 pack of 1000 on FTP at 0.05, so I get multiples of 0.10, 0.20, 0.25 etc. What do you think?

The fewer felts there are under the action's keybed, the better; otherwise, you get a significant "accordion" effect and it will feel like playing on quicksand, as probably already happens. The hardness of the keybed is also important.
Member
But where are you located geographically
Member
Near Cassino (FR)
Member
We are far away, otherwise I would have given you some, but the technician who tunes your piano might be able to give you some maps....have you asked?
Member
No, the technician who used to come, I prefer not to call him, I don't like how he works, he will surely tell me that the action must be taken to the workshop ahaha
Member
come, maybe I'll also take the 0.20 or 0.30 ones from ftp. I saw below that there are also 4/5 keys with rosettes. But already from the factory anyway.
Member
But even the 0.05 ones that aren't even glued together are okay? So as to avoid the accordion effect
Member
Oh come no, don't do anything dirty; it's fine to save on the technician, but not this, or do it but don't tell anyone

Eh sure, it can be from the factory, but for me the fewer there are, the better; no point in building towers
