Good morning, in your opinion, apart from the parent company, is it possible to replicate the bridge of a Steinway A 188?

Who could do it? (apart from the parent company)

Does anyone know its specifications? Measurements, materials?

thanks

Steinway materials are very special. Furthermore, the department that is closed to visits is precisely the one concerning the soundboard. On American sites like Pianotek or Shaff, I believe you can find someone who reproduces what you are looking for. Personally, I do not recommend replacing the bridges. If necessary, repair them with epoxy glue. Disassembling and replacing the bridges is quite a task! The soundboard could be damaged. Be careful. Anyway, perhaps I would have noted the extreme necessity of it.
