Don Teach wrote about the difficulty of obtaining parts for pianos.
The limited quality and selection of piano parts, materials and tools
available through domestic (North American) suppliers have long
frustrated me.

I now get all my rebuilding supplies directly from Germany, where the
quality of felts, leathers, etc., is excellent and the selection is
almost mind boggling.

I have been supplying a number of technicians in Canada and the US
with items not available here.  I am happy to pool orders with other
technicians to bring in decent rebuilding materials.  Please contact
me if you are interested.
