Daniel, Lance: When I bought some Johnson Carbide was the supplier, and I was told they supplied Steinway. That was ten years ago. It is important to get reamers with enought cutting flutes. It is possible to buy two-fluted reamers, but you need more than two cutting edges to obtain a clean round cut by hand.

I use MSC, and if I remember correctly, their prices were considerably cheaper than Steinway/Pianotek (after all, where do you think THEY buy them from??)
