TUNING
(Continued from Page 29)
tide is on how to file a set of hammers,
but old man experience must guide the
one doing it and help him judge re-
garding its practicability.
(A) When you draw action out of
the case, let hammer be in the
direction as the drawing indi-
cates.
(B) Don't bear heavily upon the
sandpaper file. Go slow and
easy.
(C) Study the drawing carefully be-
fore you start on No. 1. Don't
hold the file lopsided. It takes
a lot of manufacturing to pre-
pare the piano trade with a fine
set of felt hammers, and but a
few minutes to spoil them.
