Cut one tape at the point where the balance leather shank enters the hammer butt, this will get you the correct length for your replacements. 2. set jig as shown to get length of tape, Cut the tapes (you can cut 10 at a time). 3. Glue as shown in second photo. I have been doing this for the past 42 years. You can use either hide glue or PVA, I prefer hide glue, it dries faster. Kerry Cooper Kerry Cooper Australasian Registered Piano Technician (ARPT) Brisbane Piano Centre (07)3809-0652 0412-033-379 brispiano@optushome.com.au I have to replace a set of bridle tapes on a Samick console. The tapes were glued, not where the dowel goes into the hammer butt, but where the dowel enters the catcher. Of course, there are no holes in the catchers so the cork variety is of no use in this application. I HATE those clip variety of replacement tapes. Does anyone out there have a brilliant idea as to how to make some sort of jig that would allow a person to glue a new set of plain tapes on the back of the catcher??
