---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Well, Pris Rappaport is an outstanding technician, worked in a couple of= European piano factories. I may have been missing something...not that= unusual for me...this was a class on factory hammer hanging. They do not= travel the shanks before hanging the hammers and apparently the hammers= were traveled by burning in? This was at our California State Convention= some years ago and I was the exhibits chair and running around...
