Subject: hammers felt coming apart<br>

Hello List, <br>
<br>
A long time client's hammer felt has come loose from the top side of hammers 62 to 74 and is flipped up at a 45 degree angle. Years ago I remember being told that there is nothing that can be done....... so I've always stayed away from them - but this woman is going to be hard to say no to. She loves her old upright. Brass rail unfortunately. <br>
Has anyone out there had any success in fixing this problem other than installing new hammers? (Ronsen will sell a partial set of 30 for $70). <br>
<br>
Best Regards, <br>
