Terry... What dimensions are needed? Arm to action; front to back and height? What about the lip for the keyslip? (you can tell I'm not a woodworker).

Dean, Perhaps you forget that there are piano woodworkers out there who specialize in building custom piano components for piano technicians/rebuilders! I'd be happy to take a crack at it for you if you were interested. If I were you though I'd contact someone like Mike Morvan at Blackstone Valley Piano http://www.pianoandorgankeys.com/ He specializes in piano keyboards - the cheekblocks are a lot closer to the keyboard than a soundboard! Where there is a demand, there will be service!

If all else fails, you can always fabricate a set - just a block of wood.

One of my clients has a 7'3" Bechstein (# on plate indicates a 1924 but stamped # on bottom beam indicates 1899 (production # maybe)). The cheekblocks were missing when he got it and I was hoping someone had some laying around that need a new home. Thanks in advance. (and thanks for the wealth of knowledge all these years).
