PARTS WHICH ARE NOT LISTED IN THIS CATALOG:
We have contacted a custom piano part maker who has many years in the trade.
He is making any wooden piano action parts from your sample parts or from his
patterns on hand. We will have to call and get a quote for your part based on how
difficult it is to make and the quantity you need. One part is a minimum order, so
old freak action parts no longer need send an old piano to the city dump.
Look at the parts we offer, and if your part is missing, SEND MAIL and we will
get a quote for you.
