Unglued Hammerheads (Clamping)

[Michael Jorgensen]

     IMHO regluing old exploded hammers is not evil or
unprofessional.    Gluing them back reintroduces tension.  Replacing a
few with new makes a piano look worse and devalues it.   It's akin to
that disconcerting omen of seeing many new shinny strings scattered
about amoung the old.   Reglued hammers often sound equal to neighbors
and thick CA is more than up to the task.

-Mike Jorgensen

Just don't glue yourself to the hammer,  even worse, in the piano with
the screwdriver out of reach or on a drop action.
