Upright Wippen Replacement

[Farrell]

I just go off the phone with RennerUSA and they say they do not have any such upright wippens available - not in Germany either. The only one they have is the Pratt-Reed type that comes in the sample kit. Thanks anyway.

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.
