<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Was wondering what's the best way to correct warped (both side to side and or
<BR>twisted) hammer shanks in order to correct spacing problems. This is an
<BR>inexpensive console piano.
<BR>
<BR>I have an electric shank bender, but it heats up to the point where it can
<BR>burn shanks. Have never seen instructions on how to use these.
<BR>
<BR>1. Do you wrap a wet cloth around the shank and us the bender to "steam" the
<BR>shank
<BR>
<BR>2. Do you use a controller between the wall and the bender to control the
<BR>temperature (like some soldering irons).
<BR>
<BR>3. Do you throw away the electric bender and use another method.
<BR>
<BR>Any help, as always, will be most appreciated. And Happy Valentines
<BR>Day....especially to the ladies.
