To reglue loose hammer heads just apply some vinegar on the g= lue joint and 12 minutes later it will re-juvenate the glue and will be= hard again.This trick I had learned long time ago from late Bob Russel= l and shared it in many of my classes and it made it to the Journal,als= o.It works!!! Also,to remove hammers or to loosen weak glue joint-use v= inegar and 4 minutes later it easely comes apart.Works on loose-sqaky c= hairs and antique furniture.Also,you can do it in the piano without rem= oving the action and taking it to your shop... Good Luck!!

A customer of mine has a Wurlitzer spinet with 5= 4 loose hammer heads that click when they are played. I was unable to = remove the heads while the action was in the piano. The glue is loose,= but not loose enough to be able to pop them off. I am planning to remove the action, take it back with me and remove and= reglue the hammers. What chemical is recommended to soften the glue enough to remove the he= ads? Thank you very much. Brian P.
