Hi everyone,
I have a future customer who has a piano with a hammer, get this, that's =
split.  He has the other, top half.  Rather than order 88 hammers which =
I was told would have to be done because I cannot just order one, I was =
given another idea.  I was told that there is a sleeve that can be =
placed on the hammer shank that is still attached to the action and then =
the top half is inserted in.  Does anyone know if this is a hard =
procedure as I'm just getting into the repair side of piano tech?  Where =
can I buy such a sleeve?  Thanks again, and if this is one of those, =
obvious things as CY mentioned to me yesterday, I appologize.
Marshall

  Subject: yet another bracket question...


  Just wondering:  are all of the faulty Young Chang action brackets =
greenish in color (because of the Zinc content, I would assume)?  I =
tuned one today that a friend owns, and the brackets have not expanded.  =
They are gold in color.  I didn't locate the serial number before =
leaving, so I'm not sure what year it was made.

  Every time I go to work on a YC now, I get nervous....
