We make them for virtually every Steinway getting a belly as they must come off to get the plate out. Send me your specs. I'll makes some for you. <div style="color: navy; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> We use walnut for many of the plain wood cases and Maple for black. The thin glide were from the older instruments. Having a clean slot and a tight glue fit is the key to easy gluing and a strong joint <div style="clear:both">Dale Erwin R.P.T.

They broke and I glued them. They broke and I screwed them. The department wanted new replacements so I contacted the mothership and asked about ordering. I figured with a serial number I should be fine. Not so fast, the parts department told me that had only three styles current and some styles had lapsed. I looked at the photos sent and selected the ones that looked very much like the ones we have. Well, three months later I have finished desk glides that are more than twice as thick, I can fix that on a table saw. They are also about two inches short, the table saw isn't much help with that. But cutting them thinner doesn't seem to be a good idea considering the history and the short thing is a problem. I'm sure I'm not the only tech. up against this problem. What are your solutions? What drove your choice? Thanks, Andrew Anderson, Artisan Piano </tt></pre> </div>  </div> </div>
