Speaking of players, I will need to remove the player action on this piano to properly service the broken hammer shanks. The hoses that connect to each key have a long strip of wood that I can unscrew so I wouldn't have to disconnect each hose. And with the disconnection of two hoses on the bass side, and a few more screws, I should be able to remove the player. Does that sound right?

There are two broken hammer shanks, which I took with me. This will be my first go at angle boring, since one of the hammers is in the bass. I should have everything to do this project, but could I get some e-mails on some suggestions, etc? Thanks a lot!
