Bundy Buescher Top Cap Felt Washers vs Midwest Felt Cushioning Washer 30 Pack
Buy the A99 if you are servicing a Bundy or Buescher instrument and want the exact top cap felt size in 100% wool. Buy the Midwest pack if you need a general-purpose felt cushioning washer for furniture, lamps or light hardware and want a small black pack. The A99 is the more specialized part: dense wool felt, Italian and German origin, and a size matched to brass instrument valve caps. The Midwest washers are thinner, slightly smaller in outside diameter and sold as a 30-piece cushioning pack. Owners of brass instruments report that pure wool felt holds its shape and oil resistance better than synthetic blends, which is why the A99 is the safer choice for instrument repair.
- Choose the A99 Felt Valve Washers if you are replacing top cap felts on a Bundy or Buescher horn and need the correct 11/16 inch outside diameter in 100% wool.
- Choose the Midwest Cushioning Washer Felt if you need a small pack of black felt washers for general cushioning under screws, bolts or furniture glides.
