Marshall, Yes I have replaced many sets of hammers shanks and flanges. I use the every other hammer method. I remove all the odd hammers and replace them, fitting them between the existing hammers. Then I remove the even numbered hammers and do the same. Every tuner on this list will probably tell you that, this method is out dated, but it works and it works for me.

I've seen failed ones from time to time on some pianos asian I believe mostly. So I'm curious as to how we would replace them. Is it best to just replace it or get an entirely new butt section with the cord and spring already attached? Also what about hanging hammers or installing them. This is one thing I haven't been taught to do replacing one hammer yes, but not a set. So I'm wondering if there is a way to do this when vision impaired. William you coudl probably clue me in on some of this as well. thanks everyone Marshall Marshall Gisondi MARSHALL'S PIANO SERVICE 215-510-9400 http://www.phillytuner.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
