Seeking source for odd sized rubber tube/hose

[auto.pilot]

I've searched high and low but can not find black rubber tube/hose in the size I need. 7/16 ID, 1/16 wall, 9/16 OD. The tube will be cut into 1" pieces for repair of a marimba. The tubes will cover posts that sit between the wood keys. Would appreciate any ideas. Stumped!

Thanks

Jim

Try sending a PM to wlburton. He has been doing instrument repair for many years and might be able to help you out.

Don't know how practical this would be, but how about a couple of layers of heat shrink tubing?

Heres a place in Tampa they serve worldwide I'm sure they would have it make it.

McMaster-Carr has it.

Zoro Tools (mentioned above) is also a good outfit to deal with.

Wow, I was worried that I wouldn't get any replies, but now have multiple sources! What a wonderful community we have... I placed an order with Zoro Tools via ebay.

Thanks!
