List,

After tuning thousandss of pianos over the last couple of decades, I had an 
experience yesterday that was a first for me.  It was a brand new upright 
piano, a brand new model manufactured in the southeastern US. I was tuning 
the in the mid-treble when the D-66 hammer snapped.  No, not the shank.  The 
hammer snapped right at the beginning of the felt where it tapers onto the 
molding.  

I admit to pounding fairly hard when I tune, and perhaps my pending divorce 
had something to do with the ferocity of the blow(:-), but this was a new one 
on me.  Anyone else ever seen this?
