List Friends,

I have often worked on old uprights where the last few hammers are into
the wood.  I have replaced these hammers at times with new ones, but it
is often difficult to voice them to the rest of the old ones.  Also,
many people just cannot afford a new set of hammers and the necessary
work to get the old piano up to par.  

When high treble hammers are into the wood, is there any way to use the
felt still on the sides of the hammers to sort of recap the tops?  I
have tryed this, but haven't been too sucessful.  Does anyone have any
thoughts on this?  Thanks.
