But how then would we learn the amateur's creative ways of repairing the piano?
Such as what I found in an old upright yesterday....
When a hammer shank breaks, take a short length of 1/2" dowel, drill a hole
through it lengthwise to accept both broken ends. Never mind if the shank won't
rest on the hammer rail properly.
So the ears are broken off a couple jacks. A well-placed and glued rubber
band does the trick.
The piano was an absolute disaster which I hope never to see again.
Regards,
Clyde
