<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am working on a Hamilton/Baldwin 5' =
grand. The owner has decided that he wants to replace the =
hammers due to
damage from wine spilled into piano. What am I =
letting
myself in for?? I will get the new hammers from Schaff. =
They list
several weights; 12 lb, 14 lb, 16 lb. Which should I ask =
for? They
also list a striking distance of 1 7/8, 2" and 2-1/8". The =
action
handbook says a blow distance of 1 7/8", but the Schaff catalogue says =
to
"measure from the center of the bore hole to the top of the felt, =
allowing for
wear on #88 hammer." Whoa... what the heck does this mean when I =
have
already shaped the hammers and taken off felt?</FONT></DIV>
