<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Didn't check the archive but is there =
a simple
way to repair split hammer heads? I tuned a customer's spinet piano =
Monday and
about 7 of the heads had the felts pulled away from one side of the =
hammers
(most on top but some at the bottom). I thought perhaps clamping and =
glue but
what type of glue? And would the pressure the heads are under allow =
the same
things to happen all over again? Since it is a spinet I hope to avoid =
taking
out the action.</FONT></DIV>
