New Tools - mishung hammers

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Brian,
The Renner tool is simply the best for grand hammer removal. No damage to
shank or hammer.And very quick to use.
The nice thing about it was that at the convention you could purchase the
tool for $8.00 less and they paid the postage for USA delivery.
Hey a perk for attending the convention!
BTW my voicing tray can be used to hang grand hammers but I do not reccomend
doing it for a full set.
