I could use some rubber pedal cups--those little 'rubber' cups that  
fit into the grand piano pedal hole and into which the vertical rod  
is inserted.  I could use some for Yamaha, Kawai, and Baldwin.  Where  
can they be obtained?  I don't see them in Schaff's catalog.

Actually, I wonder why they use them at all.  The older pianos  
didn't, and they worked just fine.  Those cups either wear through or  
get hard and cause noises.

Where in the world are they?
