Hi Mike,
No it is not true, I am currently but slowly replacing pre hung
hammer sets on our 20yr old University C3's, also rebushing the keys, with
great success. If there is a wooden action rail on the G3, then you will
have to hang the hammers. The wooden rails have neither the stability or
accuracy of machining of the aluminum counter part, making pre hung
non-viable.
Regards Roger
