Glock Help

Posted by 4add on 1/30/2023, 7:31 pm

I have an old (old, old) glock that could use some felt and wire, but I don't know what to get or where to source it. What I've found seems to be very proprietary to Sonor, Peripole, etc and it's mostly for elementary classroom instruments.

What can I use to clean this instrument up a little? Fabric store felt cut and poked? Fishing line? I feel kinda dumb not being able to find this info.

1) Call Steve Weiss

2) Call Steve Weiss

3) If for some weird reason they don't have an answer, go look through Hobby Lobby and you can probably find felt. Most of the time the string is more like french horn string on the ones that use string.

But seriously, call Steve Weiss. They probably have a kit of stuff for this purpose.

Ugh, great idea. I'm was a Lonestar Percussion kid for many years and always forget about Steve Weiss.

Still have open orders with Lonestar...

From what I've heard I don't think you'll ever be getting those... Going to be weird at TMEA without them. Unfortunate too, because they're usually the only store that was showing up that you could pick up some quick supplies there.

Steve Weiss sent me to Century. We'll see what they have or know of.

I always loved being able to call Lonestar and be like, "Hey, I'm clueless here - can you help" and they were always awesome. Is Steve Weiss a good replacement for that type of business?

Steve Weiss is one of the most reliable and helpful vendors I do business with. When it comes to percussion instruments/supplies they also consistently come under everyone else (including Lone Star before they closed). They have a couple dedicated education guys Bill and Jeff that are incredibly helpful.

They are amazing! You can call with any problem and they can help you out.

No, you no longer have open orders through Lonestar.

Hope your business office hasn't paid them.

Yeah, that comment was sarcastic. I made my CFO aware of it early in the school year. It's well beyond my pay grade now.
