You might try fabricating some out of Styrofoam. Just glue several pieces together to get the right thickness and carve out the shape you need. Then take them to a woodworker for duplication.

Can you track down the missing blocks? Or locate a similar piano and duplicate the blocks? It will be very difficult to design them from scratch considering the type and location of the frame registering pins, indexing dowels for the keybed and maybe fallboard hinges/notches. Then you'll have to apply a finish. Contact the manufacturer, and retrofit a new pair. -- Regards, Jon Page
