Marshall Might I suggest you buy Arthur Reblitz's book on piano tuning and repair. Easily available on the net from several sources. I think you will find it much more effective for this kind of thing then email posts allow for. best of luck Richard Brekne ---------- 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. Marshall
