    Hi Normand,
    Thank you for the updated catalogue.
    There are however, a couple of things, which I have found to be absolutely no good. I tried them 30 years ago, and am surprised to see them, as I thought they had been removed from the market. Ok, I didn't see them in your other catalogue. :-(
    One is your 0501 Metal tuning pin bushings. When they are used, they do not hold well, yes they tighten up, but they do not have the proper friction. If you have the pin out, it is just as easy to replace the pin. A piece of veneer, or even sandpaper, works much better, if you don't have the right pin.
    The other is 0072, the flange pin retaining clip. If the pin is loose enough to slip out, then the hammer is too loose, and will wobble sideways, and wear the felt prematurely. When I tried them, they even punched a hole through the aluminium, in a short while. It is much better to repin, so push the repinning tools. :-)
    Check with other of your trusted technicians, for their opinion.
    It is just I don't want people to buy something you sell, and then find out it doesn't do the job.
    I like the new catalogue. I saw it at Chris Davison's office yesterday, and was going to ask where mine was, then here it is today. :-) Mind you, he got a price list. :-(
    Ok, I will use the internet.
    Best regards,
    John
