Here is a great source. http://www.fortepiano@fortepiano.com/  which is where
you can purchase various supplies. They're sometimes hard to reach by phone, but
are good to work with.  If you've never make hitch pin loops with yellow or red
brass you may want to order pre-made strings. If you are breaking strings at the
loop it generally indicates bad loop making. Breaks in other places might mean
too high tension for that gauge, or improper stringing techniques, etc.   
Good luck!
