Muffler bar needed

[Alan Barnard]

1. I have a wooden one that is 51.25 inches long, it has a steel angle bracket attached to the bass end which adds another 1.25 inch, or so, to the length. The felt is serviceable but has a few bug-bite places. If interested, let me know, I'll send pictures and more description.

2. I've only been in one muffler bar ... too quiet, everyone there was exhausted.

3. I have the the Midas touch, actually; at least it seems like everything I touch turns to mufflers ...

4. Already planning to retain my day job. Career advice from others not necessary, at this point.

I have a customer with a Ludwig upright made in 1902.  The muffler bar is missing.  This is a very beautiful piano and I hate to fabricate something out of aluminum.  I'm hoping that someone has a muffler bar from an old piano which would fit the character of this instrument.  The inside dimension is 55 7/8 inch.  I can cut it shorter it I find one too long, or I can attach blocks to the inside of the case if it is a little bit too short.  If you have one you would like to part with, let me know.
Thanks,
