I use heat. Unger heat gun but I don't overdue it...the tool works well. Are interested in this for in the field testing? I'm wondering if anyone has different hammers hung on shanks/flanges for different pianos, i.e. Renner Shank/Flanges for NY Steinway D, each with a different kind of hammer. It seems to me it would work and be close enough to hear what it sounds like in the tenor sections...couldn't you pull the action in and out to line it up with the treble. Be gentle with me...

Thanks for the ideas. With Jurgen's tool, I assume you still have to apply some heat to avoid blowing away the molding...no ? Same question with Jon's technique...really no heat at all?
