Where to buy spare riqq jingles?

Hi.
I´m cleaning and tuning my good old Cooperman riqq, and I´ve decide now it´s time to remove the old big hammered jingles and buy some less noisy jingles and install them in 4 of the 5 sides of the instrument, letting two pairs of the big jingles for the "¿jingle-job?" when playing. I wrote to Cooperman asking for some other models since years ago you could buy different spare jingle sets, but they answered me that:

"At this time we do not offer any other riqq jingles. We only have the standard jingles that come with the drum and are probably the same as the ones that you already own. Sorry I can't be of more help."

What could I do? I´ve seen the spare jingles of Mid-East, but I think they have not enough quality for a Cooperman riqq, maybe they´re OK for a GeF riqq. What do you think?
Thank you.

    Eckermann in Austria - www.eckermanndrums.com/ Great quality jingles (or zils, if you prefer). Two gauges available, the light ones are about half the weight of the ones you have and sound great. Less noisy, excellent quality. Email Norbert as I don't think he has them listed as a separate item on his site but has no problem in selling just them. I've even had people with Kevork's say they like them.

      Hi Mark.
      Thank you, I didn´t know that Eckermann!
      I wrote him asking for the jingles. I am also contacting David Roman.
      I know is a very specific question, but someone has compared the jingles of these two constructors?
