Yes, I have black electrical rubber tape on this whacker (mine is a whacker, not a thumper). My first one I had epoxied together - worked very well, but I left it in some piano somewhere. I had to throw something together fast, so I just taped them - that was maybe three years ago...... BTW: Use grand hammers and overlap the tails in opposite directions. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- I have some old hammers from actions I could use. I imagine the black material in the middle is electrical tape right?
