Another brass tubing source is McMaster Carr, Chicago, phone number 708-
833-0300.  They also have the copper washers like Cremona used on their
components.  It is a good source and not cheap.

I buy as much as possible from Player Piano Co. because we need him.
I do, however, buy my hide glue from Garrett-Wade at 800-221-2942.
Many people don't realize that hide glue comes in many different grades,
with the purest grade know as jell-o.  Fine Woodworking magazine ran an
excellent article several years ago and even referenced Larry Broadmoor,
a piano restorer.

One of your members mentioned he did not want to do business with American
Piano Supply.  I agree that they are the rudest company on earth.  Schaff
Piano of Chicago area has many parts available not shown or listed in
their very out-of-date catalog.  Give them a try.

Well, my two cents worth for now.  I have to close down this shop and
go home.  Thanks.
