Piano leg reproduction

Paul,
     Decals Unlimited has the sets of Steinway-style round fluted legs, and 
scroll-work music racks. Not cheap. The racks on a lot of the old 
Chickerings were almost identical to the S&S style, but of course didn't 
have the S&S lyre design in the middle.
     Schaff sells plain leg sets for a reasonable price. There's also the 
supplier section of the annual directory. Couldn't tell you specific folks, 
but several are listed under case parts.
     SAMA in Juarez has a good duplication wood carver, and does legs. Also 
not cheap, but can be made to match the old, thereby saving the cost of the 
whole set. Call Salvador Ortiz at 915-727-4138. Be prepared to fax in the 
specs and a drawing or picture of the old. If the missing leg is the tail, 
be sure to check height.
     The Journal has also had ads for piano lids recently, and perhaps 
those folks can help out.
Then there's Jack Wyatt. His legs are old enough, and he may have others in 
stock. <G>

Good luck,
Guy Nichols, RPT
