>From Sy Zabrocki RPT--Billings, MT Am. Piano Supply Co. (APSCO) has sent me two new tuning hammer tips to replace the two defective ones sent earlier. On Feb. 24, I started the discussion about replacing hammer tips. The first two were too small and the No. 2 and No.3 numbers were transposed. The No. 3 was smaller than the No. 2. The new ones from APSCO are better. The No. 2 might still be a little smaller than I remember years ago. I'm just not sure. During this episode it has become apparent that one maker's No. 2 tuning pin is not necessarily exactly the same size as another maker's. I am using the new No. 3 tip and it worked fine this week. APSCO might have suffered some embarrassment over this discussion. It seemed only appropriate to acknowledge they have corrected the problem. Sy Zabrocki only4zab@mcn.net
