Refelting hammers...clamp type clothes pins idea

[Farrell]

I have done this a number of times on old uprights and crummy little spinets, etc. However, I simply spray one surface with accelerator and apply thick CA glue to the other surface and hold with fingers for maybe ten seconds and move on to the next one. That way I can do the 200-cent pitch raise and tuning right away at the same appointment. No need to wait for glue to dry or to have the piano owner removing clothes pins!

          Regluing unravelling hammer felts, I use clamp clothes pins to hold the felt on while the glue dries. Also, I always carry about 15 of them in my tool kit. When I do this on a customer's old piano (the key word here is old, (or spinet) as I don't think I would reglue unravelling hammer felt on an expensive high end piano via clothes pins), I dont have time to watch the glue dry. I just instruct the customer to gently remove the clothes pins the next day and they can keep the pins for keeping music books open or something. I deduct the clothes pins as a business supply.
