<p>I would ask Pianotek if they use their numbering thingy on their new keys? If they use it and love it...why not go there? Sort of not re-inventing the wheel...you can always send it back if it doesn't do what you want...<br/><br/>David Ilvedson, RPT<br/>Pacifica, CA 94044<br/><br/></p>

<p align="left">Barbara -<br/>I thought you were at the beach! Anyway, one source of these "stamps" as they are listed, is the company MSC Industrial Supply Company <a href="http://www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm" eudora="autourl">http://www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm</a> , though I assume you can find them from any of these full service providers - Grainger or McMaster Carr, etc. On the MSC home page, click on the Big Book logo on the right and go to page 2594. You'll see individual stamps as well as sets (at the bottom). The one I have is 3/32", but I would probably go with 1/8". <br/><br/>Cheers (plagiarized)<br/><br/>David Skolnik<br/>Hastings on Hudson, NY<br/><br/><br/>At 09:56 AM 7/3/2008, you wrote:<br/></p>
<blockquote class="cite" type="cite">Hi David,<br/> <br/>Hmm, I just did a search on the internet for the steel number punches. Do you use the punches that are numbered separately, or the punch that sort of looks like an ink punch, but isn't. If you're using the separate punches, what size? I'm not at home right now and I'd hate to ask the house-sitter to try to measure numbers on keys (if he could even find them....that is, keys or the numbers....).<br/> <br/>Thanks.<br/> <br/>Barbara Richmond, RPT<br/>not so near Peoria, IL at the moment<br/> <br/>

<dd> Lately, for the ones that matter, I've been using steel number punches and then going over them with a fine-tip ink marker. It takes some time and care, but I prefer the look to printed numbers.<br/><br/></dd>
