Yes. They will definitely have felt pads in varying thicknesses. If not in
sheets, they'll have doughnut-shaped pieces, which are used under the keys
to prevent them from banging up the finish or making undesireable clanks
(similar to hearing an artist's untrimmed fingernails on the keys in a
piano performance) when a valve is, mm, enthusiastically engaged.
