Yes, I know, the customer was convinced (by me) to remove it a few months ago, but apparently too late for the hammers. The tuning pins are looser than I'd like. He'd like to restring just the bass(bad tone), but I'd have to go with larger pins and the tenor and treble would be smaller. I hate to do that.
