You'll be hard pressed to find one, couldn't you just repair it?

Remove the two adjacent keys and use them as a split while the
glue dries. This retains the 'dogleg' and vertical plane. Don't forget to
place waxed paper in between the keys.

The glue could be your favorite, strong adhesive. To reinforce it apply
fiberglass cloth to the side extending a few inches either side of the break.

I've fixed many piano keys broken at the bal. rl hole this way with success.
