can you say "damper lift rod" in German??

[piannaman at aol.com]

 Ron, Wim, Rob, all who had similar suggestions,

This looks like the way to go, particularly since the piano is no longer under warranty anyway.? Looks like I'll have to drill through the rod, as the hole only goes in but doesn't come out.? 

Thanks for the suggestions,

dave

It's probably a press fit, and will drive out. If the original 
was 0.135" (maybe a long shot, but worth a check), they're 
$4.18 per hundred from Schaff - #545. Or find a nail or 
something close to the original, hammer the end slightly out 
of round, and drive it into the hole. Bend over, and cut to 
length.?
