<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I'm working on a late 1980's era Baldwin spinet. It seems to have been subjected to some excessive humidity at some point in its life, but is in pretty good shape. Some of the hammers in the bass section have butterflied (there are no staples in these hammers). My question is, short of removing the action, is there any efficient way to glue and clamp these back together? (this piano belongs to my sister in-law, and I have limited time to work on it). Preferred glues?</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">
