Supplies for Rebuilding a Player Piano
By Bob Stewart

Now that Player Piano Company (PPCo) is gone, where do we get
rebuilding supplies?  I know Schaff has a few things but I'm thinking
of the more specialized stuff like pre-cut gaskets, etc.  Even
something as simple as 1/2-inch tubing gets to be an issue -- Schaff
has it only in wrapped hose, Organ Supply only goes to 15/32-inch.

Life just got more complex for our hobby.  I hope someone buys PPCo,
and soon!  Maybe we need to start a list of who makes and sells what.
