Better yet, just send Dale the neighbor hammer and shank. That will get you
the most accurate results. Rob the A0 A#0 hammers to put in their place
while you are waiting so the customer can still play it. 
 
Next, find a tech in your area who replaces hammers and ask him for some
spares.

Yes, there is a solution, make a tracing of the hammer adjacent to the ones
missing and send it to me. I,ll match the physical size as best I can.  
   I probaly have about a thousands spares in my collection. If you need
them bored, I will need a shank size and a bore distance and an approx. Bore
angle 
You thougt this was going to be easy aye?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question.  How do I obtain parts to pianos no longer manufactured?
My dilemma is this.  I have a customer with a Kimball 4530 serial number
B55605 which needs a new hammer e flat 43 or d sharp 43.  If the original
hammer was there I could have used the soda straw to fix it, but no original
except a piece of shank I found in the key bed. The head itself is missing.
A complete hammer but with the hammer attached would be ideal.   
 
The other piano is a Henry F Miller grand piano an old one.  I didn't get
the serial number unfortunately.  I need a hammer for A1 B2 and C88.  I
contacted my school, but I'm told they cannot help without samples.  Is
there a remody fo rthis sort of problem?  Thanks
Marshall
