                I'm not decrying the use of CA on hammer heads, just
suggesting that some thought and discretion be used in it,s application.
Just recently I treated half a dozen hammers on the Swift Current SD10, one
hour before curtain time, tough choice but reasonable in my book. This
piano has new hammers and original shanks, I have pulled hammers that have
been treated with CA and have noted that a fair amount of shank fiber gets
pulled with the hammers head, resulting in too loose a fit for my liking.
 I was unaware of 'debonders' would be interesting to try on some samples.
Roger.
