  Yes I agree.   I'm a big one for custom bored hammer  lines too. It would 
be easier to do as you suggest.  Plug & bore them  & Use them in something 
that's has a similar bore..etc

Thanks for the reply.  Sure, it would be even better if the boring  fit 
another piano, but what are the chances of that?  I would think that  there are so 
many variables that it would be quite a coincidence if the  hammers fit, 
intact, as is, on any other piano.  Even if the bass strings  angle matched the 
hammer boring, what about the strike point?  (Or is the  strike point/shank 
length more uniform from piano to piano than I  imagine?)
