List, Next week sometime, I'll be installing a set of hammers/shanks/butts on a Mason & Hamlin vertical. Something I have not figured out yet, probably because I haven't done enough verticals, is how to end up with a nice straight line of butt catchers when you're finished. I install hammers by gluing the shanks into the hammer first so as to be sure of a good glue joint/collar. There is always some play at the shank/butt area, so how does one end up with the shanks on the rest rail and the butt catchers still nice and level (such as on a Yamaha or other carefully built piano)? In the 3-4 yrs. I've been on the list, I don't remember seeing this talked about. Suggestions? Ideas? Thanks.
