Conrad, 
I assume you talked with Paul about the benches.  However, I was under the
impression that he made benches for Steinway and that they took over the
works from Kim/Bos when they went out of business.
    Do you take the mechanisms out before your ship?  It may save freight
and some time at the Jansen shop.
    A local upholstery shop may be able to do the work, but also might be a
bit pricey. 
Keep us informed.
