Tolex Restoration for Fender Rhodes – Bring Your Piano Back to Life
Why Restore the Tolex of Your Rhodes Piano
Felts play a vital role in the mechanical response of the keyboard. When they are worn, the friction of the hammers against the felts increases, resulting in a heavier and less responsive key action. This can quickly tire the player and affect the quality of note execution.
By replacing worn felts with high-quality cashmere, you get a smoother glide of the hammers. This improves the responsiveness of the keyboard, making it more pleasant and precise, even during long playing sessions. The touch becomes lighter and the nuances of playing easier to express.
