    I have been contacting Schimmel by e-mail regarding a replacement fall board damper, but no response.  Several tries have failed.  Does anybody know anyone here in the U.S. that has a responsibility for Schimmel  parts replacements?

    The difficulty you are experiencing may have something to do with this:

    So perhaps you need to contact Pearl River. . .

    You might also contact Zhi-Wei Huang, RPT of the San Francisco Chapter.  He may have some ideas for how to get the help you need.

    Let us know what you learn - might come in handy down the road.
