I am still considering this option, but being that there are about 7 missing
felts, once I find salvaged hammers that fit, match/drill/glue those
hammers *in
place* (and glue/clamp the 12 lifting felts), or pull the whole thing and
take it to the shop, the cost could be well on way towards a new set of
hammers, AND with the added risk that that rest of the hammers could fail at
any time.

Plus, this client actually seems interested in doing the job right. It's
just giving me a bit of whiplash that I found a spinet owner interested in
doing any piano repair job right.

A bit off the topic, has anyone here ever done a full rebuild on a spinet?
