Hammers were pre-bored from Wally Brooks. I might talk to them about paying part of the cost of the hammers and I eat a bit. It's a big account, and they've been good to me. I'd never ask to send anything like that back to Wally. Years ago I screwed up my first hammer job, in the hollars of West Virginia, and Wally sent me six "saver hammers" second day air, NO charge. I'll work something out. I think I can use a brush and superglue to re-attach the loosened corfam, or work a deal with the church so neither they nor I get hurt and just let the piano (1976) go....... les -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Terry Farrell Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 8:25 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] mold If the hammers have not been used - or especially if you haven't even received them, could they not be returned?
