Sustain Pedal trap lever spring Broken
on: June 21, 2011, 06:21:47 PM
Hello, all!  I just found out that the trap lever spring on the sustain lever is broken.  I have a Henry F Miller upright, but I'm not sure where to start looking for this part.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris

Hello, all.  So I've found a couple websites that sell new trap lever springs.  Unfortunately, they all require a minimum order amount of $30-$40!!  The part itself is only $2-$3, so I'd rather not spend tons of money on one part.  Anyone know a website where I can order this part without the requirement of a minimum order amount?

Thanks!
Chris

Call around local piano techs.  They may be willing to part with one.   They may even have a junk piano with one, and are willing to cannibalize it. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
