---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Alan, Next time you do a 6000, go to Wally Brooks and get some Abel lites, Little needling at the tenor break and some juice on the top half dozen hammers. They will work like a charm. I do at least 6 sets of Yamaha hammers a year. So yes I know them well and have the scars to prove it. Ouch that hurt. <G> Regards Roger At 06:51 PM 9/18/02 -0700, you wrote: > Alan, you are absolutely on track.
