After some pleading I took on the restoration of an old toy piano for a long time customer, it was her grand mothers and she wants her grand child to play it. The tough problem is that it has 7 notes missing. These are round rods, tapered and flattened at one end and driven into a bar that bolts to the case. I can easily make something that looks exactly like whats there but it won't ring like the old ones. Does anyone have any suggestions about steel, hardness, termination, anything that I might be missing? Feel free to write back off list as this is not really piano related... --Dave New Orleans --
