List, I have a set of new Steinway hammers I am in the midst of working with. My problem is with the filing. I had expected to square up the remove a little felt before juicing...I started with 220 strips and immediately the felt began to want to layer very roughly. The layers seem to want to go much deeper than my experience. They look awful on the few that I have started...I consider myself to be very good and hammer filing but this set of hammers is acting very strangely. Old Steinway hammers are a dream to file as the layers were thin and came off as expected. These layers seem to want to come off in thick layers...weird! Got any ideas? David I.
