air hammers for stringing

We've used a DanAir air hammer for about 20 years and agree -- it's the only
way to go.  We've had it rebuilt twice and it just keeps going.  The head we
use is a modified version of the one they furnish to the piano industry.
Check with them, they will know what you need.

Use ear plugs and ear muffs.  It's loud!
