You'd think there'd be a machine shop out there that could do this accurately and not too expensively. I have a neighbor who's a metal sculptor, and there are several marine machine shops not far away. I'll try to look into this, it's something I've been meaning to ask about for a while but have never had anyone willing to put the money into it. There are more than a few decent pianos out there that may need parts like this replaced. I'm thinking particularly of the English grands that have a brass "comb" that holds the long center pin in place and spaces the hammer butts. Do any European suppliers replace these? --Dave New Orleans
