Get the Spurlock hammer hanging Jig, and you will never look back. You will end up with a much more accurate tailing/backing job. The hammer line is straight, and so are the tails, Every other hammer can give a straight strike line, but I have always ended up with little discrepancies with rake, hence the checking is little skewed.<BR>

Absolutely, yes yes yes. With most pianos I find the original hammer line unacceptable and reset anyway.<BR>
