<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yes I have replaced many sets of hammers shanks and
flanges. I use the every other hammer method. I remove
all the odd hammers and replace them, fitting them between the existing
hammers. Then I remove the even numbered hammers and do the
same. Every tuner on this list will probably tell you that, this
method is out dated, but it works and it works for me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face=Arial>Hi Joe,</FONT><BR><FONT size=3
face=Arial>Is there a method for us vision impaired guys to do these cord and
cord loops. I've seen failed ones from time to time on some pianos asian I
believe mostly. So I'm curious as to how we would replace them. Is
it best to just replace it or get an entirely new butt section with the cord
and spring already attached? Also what about hanging hammers or
installing them. This is one thing I haven't been taught to do replacing one
hammer yes, but not a set. So I'm wondering if there is a way to do this
when vision impaired. William you coudl probably clue me in on some of this as
well. thanks everyone</FONT><BR><FONT size=3 face=Arial>Marshall<BR
