[CAUT] wayward hammer return springs

[moffatt5 at telus.net]

Most likely the over zealous use of a (e.g.) wooden mute placed between hammer shanks while tuning?

    List, 


    Does anybody out there have any idea how a hammer return spring could become dislodged from it's cloth-lined groove in the hammer butt?  About a dozen were poking out from between hammer shanks on a Baldwin Hamilton, and I haven't been able to offer the client an explanation as to how they became truant from doing their usual duty.


    Thanks,


    Alan Eder
