Make that 99.9999% Particularly since many hammer suppliers now offer hammers glued up, saving many hours of labor and hassle. And it does not only apply to "instruments like that". Any instrument worth hammers is worth shanks and flanges as well, assuming your time is worth something. Some wise person once (or twice) said, "Parts are the cheapest part of any job."

You could save yourself a lot of trouble for the future by replacing them at the same time. I've seen such a clear demonstration by Chis Robinson that flange pinning affects the voicing that I wouldn't replace the hammers only on that kind of instrument.
