Hammer Replacement

Newly replaced piano hammers installed on the action

Hammer replacement is needed when the hammers can no longer be reshaped or voiced. Every single time you press any key, a hammer hits a string and over time, this repeated impact causes wear and tear.

 

After all, it’s felt against metal.

 

 

The process of hammer replacement involves:

​

  • Measuring and duplicating old hammers

  • Custom boring and tail shaping

  • Hammer shaping and pre-voicing

  • Hammer hanging
