Terry, <<.... The next day I decided to place the sample block onto the table (to simulate its height in the piano) and use the same hammer (smaller) that I used quite successfully on my last repinning/restringing job.>> Have you considered using an air hammer? I think that's what it is called, anyway. It's the kind that the factories would use. I have a tech friend that bought one after years of doing it the "old world craftsman" way. :-) He now says it is the only way to go. I think they are available for around $130-150. I have yet to do a repinning job, but when I do, I will make a trip to the candy store to pick up said item. Just a thought. John Formsma Blue Mountain, MS
