[CAUT] String Coupling / SB and Bridge stiffness...and maybePure Sound

[Ed Sutton]

Re: [CAUT] String Coupling / SB and Bridge stiffness...andI try to use the shank weights to avoid work.
Before hanging them, I weigh the hammers and shanks, then play with the numbers on a spread sheet to minimize hammer weight surgery. Generally most of the work will need to be done on the low tenor, where there is a drop in strikeweights between the bass and tenor sections. My sense is that an even strikeweight progression reduces the need for needling across the break. We all need to believe something.

    [So tonight I am weighing and hanging hammers, wondering how much those 0.1
    gram differences can really matter.]

  Meager difference but it's the disparity of the shanks that can throw your efforts off.
