If anyone else stumbles on this, these pages give you a good idea about how to make your own tines and what type of steel you can use. You can purchase it on the fist link:

hi
have a couple of old Hugh Tracey box resonators missing keys
need suggestions for good commercial source(s) of flat steel/spring steel
stock, preferably in a variety of width sizes that can be used as the keys for
a thumb piano.
Anyone know what company provides the source for the steel used in the
do-it-yourself kits?
thanks
Anton
