<DIV><BR></DIV>Joe, here is what the capsule pliers which are used to =
expand
the capsule to remove and re-insert the hammer shanks look like. =
These
are not in stock as yet, but are on order. <BR><BR><IMG alt="" =

supplies
for the <U>authentic</U> restoration of early and Victorian pianos, =
from
tuning pins, string wire, cloth and felt, to action parts (where =
available)
etc. In my view, this has been neglected by supply houses in the =
