Soaking in thinner muffled the glass-breaking timbre, but didn't really leave me with what i felt was something worth trying to work with. Pretty much ruined, being as how it's a 9' concert instrument. So I had them order a set of new hammers, and requested they come on new shanks and flanges in the interest of time. Nope, not happening. The lovely new hammers just arrived - heads only. Not a huge deal, really - they're already properly bored, tails are shaped, and I guess ultimately this is probably better. The current shanks and flanges are great. it's just going to mean heat-gunning the current ones and glueing this set on. I've never just *glued* a WHOLE SET of grand hammers on a piano - is there anything special I should look out for? the archive just seems to have info on hanging a new set, new shanks, flanges, and all. I was just going to go one at a time or one section at a time so I'd have a guide with the action out of the piano for hammer angle. any other suggestions? thx, ilex ps - Joe, you've jinxed my keyboard! now my backspace is crapped out. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
