    I purchased a set of brass key cauls from Pianotek that fit into a soldering iron, some time ago. I now want to use it on a set of Yamaha keys that I just rebushed, but alas, there is no 0.125" caul in the set. 0.088 and 0.129, but not 0.125. Go figure. Does anyone have a suggestion of where to get one. Schaff sells the set, but it doesn't include .125 which is what Yamaha used in the front rail of this piano. TIA.

    Dave,

    What are the pin sizes in the piano and what caul sizes did you use in the rebushing process?
