[CAUT] Hammer head removing tool

[Ed Sutton]

WNG is planning to produce a tool for carbon shanks. 
Perhaps you will need to buy two tools, or perhaps wait to see if the WNG tool is also good for wood shanks.

WNG has designed a set of regulating tools which I like very much, egonomically designed so that tool shanks and handles are at comfortable positions, and beautifully machined. They work well on non-WNG action parts.

  How would one remove hammers from WNG shanks with their unforgiving glue? Will this tool work on the carbon shanks if using more friendly glue? Or will it crack and destroy the shank? 

  Best,

  I think I’ve tried almost everything out there, including some adaptations.  Jurgen Goering of Pianoforte Supply has by far the best tool for the job.  It is pricey, but if it is the only one you buy…..it will be the only one you ever need.  Save money on the others.

  In the hopes of not buying a tool more than once, does anyone have any thoughts on the best tool for removing grand hammer heads?

  Thanks,
