Hello Dave, My business, PIANO FORTE SUPPLY, is the sole supplier of André Oorebeek's punchings in North America. As well, I will be carrying some other fine products he has developed, such as a special glue for hanging hammers, etc. The first shipment of punchings is underway from Europe as we speak, I expect them to arrive later in the month. By the way, I am trying to come up with a "trade name" for them. Refering to them as "the firm, white, conical, tone-enhancing front rail punching by André Oorebeek from Holland" is very descriptive, but somewhat unwieldy. So, I am looking for an appropriate "handle", and I am open for suggestions. If you want to go down in piano punching history as the name-giver, give it a whirl. Right now I am on a buying trip in Germany, with a scheduled visit to the Frankfurt Music Fair next week. I will return home laden down with piano goodies which you will be able to peruse (along with the punchings) at my booth at the National Convention in Kansas City in June. (One more reason to make plans to attend.)

I'd like to buy a couple of sets. What I'd like to do is install them in my piano and play them over a long period of time--if I ever get the time to play my own danged pianner! Lemme know who's selling them here! Dave Stahl
