I have this type of piano… it has no bridle strap. I hope you make more videos about this type of piano mechanism. Mine is a yr 1908 - 55” Conover Cable upright grand. Thanks
Hey, this is absolutely great thank you! I am a 3rd gen piano tech (or attempting to be) and my family has always used plastic straws and CA glue! FIsh or wood glue and a new shank seems like a much more professional solution. I'm intrigued on what jig you'd use for the head in a client's home
Great video, this is exactly the repair I am going to attempt. I was thinking about turning an aluminum splice on the lathe, but should probably just drill out the broken dowel on both ends like you did.
Just out of interest, why would you drill the hammer instead of using a hammer shank extractor tool? then you don't need to worry about drilling a new angle
Piano hammers are attached using water soluble glue. Why not dissolve the glue around the hammer too remove it from the shank, and then use a shank extraction tool? No drilling necessary

Best of luck to you!
@@brighamspianoservice I just replaced the whole dowel like you showed and it worked great. Thanks for the video!
@@CleaveMountaineering I'm so glad it worked. Thanks for letting me know!
Exelant technic.
For sure. Never going to use this technique.
100% you will destroy the center pin.

Change a new hammer and a shank
