ABS flanges

[Ron & Lorene Shiflet]

    At the time, Kawai was selling them.  Last time I checked they quit
doing it, due to importing problems which caused a parts shortage.
    Yamaha refuses to sell parts for non-Yamaha pianos.  In fact, they're so
stinky about it, they want model & serial number before they'll sell any
parts.
    I would love to see the supply houses contract with Kawai/Yamaha for ABS
flanges.  They are wonderful.  Molded instead of drilled.
