---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Don, I've sold quite a few of the Watanabe tips. They have much better fit and consistancy than what I have seen of the recent Schaff tips. If you are just buying tips, I suggest getting them from PianoTek Supply www.pianoteksupply.com. I sell them also, but must mark them up to cover costs. Good luck, Steve Fujan www.fujanproducts.com On 2/16/06, Don Price <dcp3@twol.com> wrote: > > List - I've used the Hale hammer (lever), heads and tips for umpteen > years.
