You have at least two options.

1. Buy a poorly made and over priced replacement key from Steinway.  It
looks fancy and comes in its own felt bag.

2. Remove the lock, go to a locksmith and sort through his old cabinet
locks until you find one that fits.  While you're there buy three or
four extras for next time you might need them.  The locksmith should
charge about 50 cents for each one.

I use option #2.  The standard Steinway key is very simple, and most
locksmiths will have a variety of key styles from which you can choose. 
Do make sure you get a long enough key!
