<BR>I'm sure other pianos have these, and I find it hard to believe that
<BR>I've never needed one
<BR>until now. BTW, the result of one of the pieces breaking is that the
<BR>rear of the fallboard now hits the tops of the keys, causing a global
<BR>knock. A piece of hard felt on the stretcher is curing the problem
<BR>momentarily.

<BR>I can't find anything in the Schaff catalogue. I would suggest you go to your friendly neighborhood hardware store with the half of the assembly you have, and see if you can find a match.

<BR>Good Luck
