Hi Dale, I am a tuner tech in the UK, I actually make piano action parts to pattern, I don't care if they are wood or brass or any other material. I can match the the material, and make you anything you want if you give me a pattern to work to. I have been following the thread here, and if APSCO are unable to match what you want, then I can be of assistance to you. Good luck in your search, feel free to contact me if you get the urge!
