Hello, I've find it is better to have a tuner saying that he can't voice than one who try and ruin the hammers. Beside, it is may be chocking that he file them then, but worn hammers break strings, so why not. Being in the Steinway circus does not mean you are top notch technician, the dealers are not obliged to send their techs for trainings. Being cautious is yet the beginning of a professional attitude.
