Slow Hammer Return

[Matt McWilliams]

You are right Joe. For long term success it is probably best to change the
hammer springs and the felt.

springs
breaking. The felt on the hammer spring rail attracted moisture and caused
the strings. Probably the hammer springs need replaced."
 
Matt,
That is incorrect. The Felt was the culprit, but it was not "neutralized" in
the felting/dying process. It still contained an acid, which corroded the
springs. FYI<G>
