  Do you mean the hammer is split or the hammer shank?  It sounds like =
you mean the hammer shank is split.  Why would you want to order a set =
of hammers?  Just replace the shank.  There are sleeves that you can get =
from piano supply houses (you should open an account with one or more), =
and you can also repair the shank without a sleeve if the break is long =
and gives you some gluing surface. =20

  Hi everyone,

  I have a future customer who has a piano with a hammer, get this, =
that's split.  He has the other, top half.  Rather than order 88 hammers =
which I was told would have to be done because I cannot just order one, =
I was given another idea.  I was told that there is a sleeve that can be =
placed on the hammer shank that is still attached to the action and then =
the top half is inserted in.  Does anyone know if this is a hard =
procedure as I'm just getting into the repair side of piano tech?  Where =
can I buy such a sleeve?  Thanks again, and if this is one of those, =
obvious things as CY mentioned to me yesterday, I appologize.

    Subject: yet another bracket question...



    Just wondering:  are all of the faulty Young Chang action brackets =
greenish in color (because of the Zinc content, I would assume)?  I =
tuned one today that a friend owns, and the brackets have not expanded.  =
They are gold in color.  I didn't locate the serial number before =
leaving, so I'm not sure what year it was made.



    Every time I go to work on a YC now, I get nervous....
