Moving right along...

Located in Roca, Nebraska (which is more of a broad geographic area rather than a town), along Highway 77 between Beatrice, Nebraska, and Lincoln, Nebraska, is Hinrich's Fine Woods. http://hinrichsfinewoods.com/ They specialize in custom cabinetry, recreation of missing parts, and antique furniture restoration. They have been accredited by the Better Business Bureau and have a rating of A+. I stopped in with the clavichord's rack, and the gentleman in charge quickly and easily zipped off 1/16". The cost was $5.00. I spoke with him about my stand dilemma, and he seemed quite interested in helping me recreate the missing pieces. As long as he has a picture to go by, he should be able to come up with replacement parts.

And on the subject of the BBB, the branch that handles businesses in Stonington, Connecticut, received my official complaint today. Unlike Hinrichs in Roca, Nebraska, Zuckermann is not accredited by the BBB. The site states, "BBB has requested basic information from this company but has not received a response." Ha. Get in line. Zuckermann has had 10 business days to respond to my last email, and once again, they have failed to do so.

Stayed tuned...
