Upright Wippen Replacement

[Farrell]

What attachment? You mention many sizes.....are you thinking grand? This is an upright. That is in part what I was referring to if I purchased a wippen that would work except for a short heel - I could cut the bottom of the wippen to whatever appropriate height and glue on a heel to make things work. I was kinda hoping that there would be a good/easy option that did not involve cutting 88 wippens and gluing on heels.
