STARTIST Felt Stem Washers vs Midwest Felt Cushioning Washer 30 Pack

Buy the STARTIST pack if you need small white washers sized for trumpet, cornet or trombone stem keys. Buy the Midwest pack if you need a larger black felt washer for general cushioning around bolts or fittings. The STARTIST washers are thin cotton pads at 1.8 cm across with a 1 cm hole, and owners use them as key felts that quiet the action and protect the finish. The Midwest washers are bigger at 5/8 in outside diameter with a 15/32 in hole and 3/32 in thickness, so they suit furniture, lamps and bolt cushioning rather than instrument keys.

• Choose the STARTIST felt washers if you are replacing stem or key felts on a trumpet, cornet, trombone or similar brass instrument and want a small white pad that fits the key post.
• Choose the Midwest felt washers if you need a larger black felt washer to cushion a bolt, fitting or furniture part and want a bigger pack to keep spares on hand.
