A couple of other questions since I am a guitar/piano player and haven't dealt with percussion instruments before:ġ) How high should the eyelets be above the felt runner?Ģ) How tight should the coated cotton twine be? I expected a tension spring but these are just tied together at the ends.ģ) Should the keys be suspended above the felt runner or sit on it? The eyelets don't seem to have been moved.
If I match the stamped numbers on the crossbars to the stamped numbers on the left most (longest) end bar, the eyelets don't seem to match up and the keys are not straight which makes it hard to align the sharps in the normal pattern.
The felts between keys will need to be remade. He has a thorough knowledge of these instruments and has a passion for collecting and preserving their legacy.
