Clyde said: "In vertical pianos, on top of the dowel rod that goes from the
damper
pedal lever to the action, there is often a pin with a rubber "dowel top
cap" on it.  These rubber thingies wear out pretty quickly.  Schaff has
nothing available.  I know I can get these from Yamaha, but I hate to
pay $5 or whatever to have them ship me out a couple 25-cent parts.
Anyone advise me?

Clyde,
Hmmm? Nomenclature/Nomenclature?<G> Why not do it the olde way. Take two
strips of felt or leather, about 3/8" wide by 2" long. Feed them through the
damper lever hole so they double back on themselves. Glue the "tab(s)" that
protrudes, with any kind of glue and clamp with a clothes pin.
