<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just looked at an Ibach 7' grand =
today. The
hammers are really a mess and the piano is less than ten years =
old. Some
of the center treble hammers look like either something got into them or =
they
were severely needled on the strike point. I reshaped one =
but it
took quite a bit of felt off. I am really puzzled over this =
one.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know whether to reshape them or =
ask that
the school spring for new hammers. The upper and lower registers =
seem to
be fine.</FONT></DIV>
