Re: Catchers & bridle strapsGreetings ,
Spring clips are nice , but I would dab a bit of epoxy on them so that =
they don't slip around later , cause even when you crimp them they may =
be a little loose .    Thoughts ?

  Max,


  There is a tool that might let you do this with relative success. It's =
a Hammer Head & Butt Extractor type tool available through piano supply =

  Personally, I would consider it overkill to remove the catchers for =

reason.


  Sincerely,


  Keith
