Tokiwa parts has a new wippen that will probably fit the knabe and chickering and I don't believe any one else makes parts for them at all.<BR>
Call Mike at pacific piano supply In L.A. He is the importer.<BR>

Does anyone have general advice on finding replacement<BR>
wippens that will fit in victorian pianos such as an<BR>
1873 Steinway B, or 1880's Knabe and Weber? Is there a<BR>
way to measure the original wippens to see if the new<BR>
ones will work? Thanks.<BR>
