    I'm looking for a way to purchase a sheet of uncut damper felt from Laoureux.  Anyone know a contact there?

    What I'm looking for:  a sheet of 6mm thick damper felt that I can cut into my own damper blocks.

    Laoureux's website says it's available as part of their piano felt offerings.  Their automated contact thingie is not working for me to even ask via e-mail.

    I don't think that Laoureux sells retail, much less one piece of felt.
    You might have better luck searching for timpani mallet felt which is essentially the same felt. Be aware that these felt sheets (be it for timpani or pianos) come in different densities and nominal thicknesses. I say nominal because it is a relative measurement when dealing with material that is so soft.

    You might try:
