Hi, Ed

I believe that if you buy a set from Yamaha (like for a U1 or P2) they come
with blocks already, and are very good quality. I think that Yamaha labels
them "damper head assembly." I don't know if the number of notes in the
bass is the same, but you could probably work around that. If you need a
few more of one type than the Yamaha set gives you, you could save and
reuse the best of the old blocks.

Have fun.
