[CAUT] S&S B desk glide parts

[Paul Williams]

I have had the same problem!

I'm considering altering the original design and getting some of those
brass rails from PianoTek.  I'm tired of the constant repairs!

Has anyone else resorted to this, or just keep on crafting new ones from
wood and expoxying them in.  It's messy, and really doesn't look very
original when done.  Of course, I've only done this to practice grands
where they remain for life as just that:  Practice! ;>)
