But using a length of straw, you place it on the butt section, then = put glue on the end with the hammer, now the straw will act as a guide = as you put the hammer end of the shank in it and push together. When the = glue dries you could slice off the straw. John M.

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.

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....
