I've always used thick CA and finger clamped for several seconds and then move on to next one. As far as tone goes, I would have agreed with you before I had done dozens of these repairs. However, I have found that, considering the general type and condition of piano that has hammer felt falling off, the repaired/reglued hammers sound surprisingly similar to the other hammers - maybe not like new, but no worse than the other 87 cruddy hammers on the cruddy little beastie. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- Just remember the tension is gone from those hammers and the tone will not be as before no matter what you do. Let the customer know you will do what you can. I would think PVC-E would work well...
