Bear with me..... I'll try Dear all, Yes, you can get parts to match that weird action you are working on. You don't have to hack and mutilate something that might be adapted, and never goes quite right, and no, the piano parts and supply houses do not cover all the instruments we deal with, inspite of the huge range they stock. I know these things, believe me, I am a technician! I have had these frustrations! So I have taken the trouble to learn how to "make parts to pattern". Interested?? I make action parts and keys to a pattern supplied by you. They are machine finished, and accurate to 0.1mm or 0.004"inches. I can cater for modern and historic instruments, and other keyboard instruments e.g celestes, pianolas etc. I work in traditional materials i.e hornbeam and lime, and can also make a limited range of metal parts! Hopefully it will be possible for you to see the promised dodgy pictures..............(of parts that I have made!) You can contact me here: Tony_The_Tuner@nationwideisp.net Regards, Tony. Well, with any luck Jim, this might be OK:-)
