<DIV>Has the hammer shanks been tied down to the hammer rest rail like they do
for new pianos? If not, find a wood stick or dowel similar in length to
the hammer rest rail, but a bit larger in girth. Lay it on top of the
hammer shanks and tie the stick to the hammer rest rail at every action
bracket. The hammer shanks and shank flange are immobilized and
protected. <BR></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
