Re: Clavinet hammer tips

[ap412@lafn.org (David Chertock)]

I got the tip on clav tips a few years ago from a guy at Washington Music 
Center (301-946-8808). I was told to use the O Ring from a Chevy 50 Turbo 
Transmission. Someone went to check it out and told me it was the Chevy 
350 Turbo Transmission O Ring. 

Let us know if you solve the mystery of the correct part, or if the o ring 
story is up there with the "Good Times" E-mail Virus.

I also have heard in a pinch you can chew the eraser off your pencil... 

Good Luck,
David
