  • 1.  bumper grand key cover

    Posted 03-18-2020 15:51
    I am working on an Everett baby grand that is missing one key cover bumper, which would otherwise sit inside a hole on the cheek block.  When searching for replacements, I notice that pianotek sells only an assortment pack for $50. I've tuned pianos for ten years and only needed one of these bumpers one time before, so I know the $50 would be wasted if I purchase the assortment pack. Any suggestions on alternative sources where I can just buy a package of maybe one to five?

    I would suggest you ask a refinisher or another piano tuner in your area.

    Try Howard Piano Industries which shows pictures of a variety of buttons that are in a bag of 10 for $3.95 and come from Schaff.
