Parts for Chickering 1/4 grand

[Tony Court]

Hi Dale,
I am a tuner tech in the UK, I actually make piano action parts to pattern,
I don't care if they are wood or brass or any other material. I can match
the the material, and make you anything you want if you give me a pattern to
work to.
   I have been following the thread here, and if APSCO are unable to match
what you want, then I can be of assistance to you.
Good luck in your search, feel free to contact me if you get the urge!
Regards  Tony Court.
