New shanks cost money and need a bit of fitting to the instrument, implies a hammer change in anycase. Knuckles themselves get replaced easily enough. You can pop off an old set and get a new set installed very nicely in a couple hours. If you have a set of poorly installed knuckles and hammers and shanks are otherwise reasonably ok.... In anycase i choose that over bolstering for the most part now. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
