Pianotech

   I am looking for sources of new knuckles for a Samick SG 150C grand. Attached is a picture of what is on the piano most are shredded with flat spots and out of round. It would be useless to try to bolster these things since the covering is so poor. Definitely not buckskin and more like low quality ecsaine . Pianotek carries knuckles but the description states they are ecscaine as well (maybe a better grade ?) The Abel knuckles do not describe the material.

Hi James,

Abel knuckles are excellent quality, and I regularly use them for action rebuilding.
