Any comments or advice from others who have been on this particular path with Yamaha hammers would be most appreciated! Tom, Something I learned from Brian Detar: with three needles sticking out 2mm from your voicing tool, start needling at around 10 o'clock from the back side of the hammer, and bring it up to nearly 12 o'clock, all the time going radially, and going in all the way in with the needles. Then with the needles at 5mm, go back to 10 o'clock on the back side and this time, while going the whole 5mm deep, come up to about 11 o'clock. Then on the front of the hammers, use the 5mm long needles, needle at 11 o'crock. Of course, test the tone between each step. Vince Mrykalo BYU
