There's San Francisco Piano Supply  (www.sfpiano.com), but I haven't used
'em yet.
I don't know if Player Piano Co. in Wichita still exists or not, but they
had some action parts, dampers, etc., in addition to player supplies.
You old(er) timers:  Ford Piano Supply has been defunct for years, right?
Didn't John Ford pass away?  Or are they still going?
There's International Piano Supply (www.pianoparts.com/ips), but I haven't
used them yet, either -- they look a bit pricey.
Also Pacific Piano Supply  in Van Nuys, CA, but I haven't ordered anything
recently.
Then there's foreign suppliers (Abel, etc.)                --David Nereson,
