Q Felt Washers are winning fans around the globe!

Musicians love Q Washers for the great feel and quiet action.

Technicians love Q Washers for all the reasons their clients do plus the exactingness of dimensions and tolerances.

Also, unlike wool felt, Q won’t shed fibers that may get into the piston casing and cause sluggishness and marring.

And Q does not harden with age as many materials will.

About Q Felt:

Q and Q2 Felt are dense “felts”, made of recycled materials.

At J.L. Smith, we thickness these materials in house to control the dimensions and tolerances. This capability brings a perfect array of thicknesses we then punch from.

The differences between Q and Q2 Felt are subtle. Q Felt is lighter in color and slightly firmer to the touch. I like this for the upstroke. Q2 Felt is an aesthetically darker and functionally more forgiving material. This is my favorite for downstroke top cap washers.

Attributes:

• Great touch
• Dimensionally stable
• Built to high tolerance
• Won’t harden with age
• No shedding of fibers
• Quiet
• Handsome
