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> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jeff Schlaybach - Robesonia, PA</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
