[pianotech] WNG parts with Schaff (Abel) hammers?

[William Truitt]

I started boring my own hammers about 30 years ago when I got tired of
suppliers who were "good enough" when they weren't.  

 

There's nothing hard about this.  You just need a few tools and some
knowledge to go with it.  It's pretty basic stuff for someone with your
skill set.

>Chuck - I know you are a real tool jockie - it's time for you to take the
leap and start boring your hammers!  It's not that hard, and when somebody
makes a mistake, at least you'll know who it is!<

 

 

Will and Nick - Thanks both of you for the help. Before I do anything, I'm
going to take the time to go back through this entire thread to see what
I've missed.

 

As to your comment above about boring the hammers myself, Will, I know, I
know. After 37 years of doing a lot of this stuff myself, I still get
nervous when I try something new. This is on a list of things to try doing
that I've been putting off for years. I need to quit making excuses and as
you say "take the leap."

 

I'm getting old enough that I'd better be giving some of these things a try.


 

Again, thanks. I'll probably be asking for more advice as I get further into
this.  Chuck
