[pianotech] Fallboard repair

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi, Wim and Rob !
Good suggestion from Wim, but...
I would insert Hammer  Shank INSIDE a piece of BRASS TUBE [like used  
in  Vacuum Player Mechanisms].
Brass  Tubing will prevent Hammer shank further splitting..
I had done those PRS [Post Refinishing Syndrom } repairs on many  
pianos..
It Woyks!
Hope it helps..
Good luck!
Isaac
