Terry:  I don't know if the archives are "dead" or not, but I have a
suggestion.  There is an old saying along the lines of "many hands make
light work".  That is the thought that I use when developing a "key
striking" technique.  Quite simple in reality - use more than one finger
on any given note at a time.  I use either two or three fingers at a time
to take the total impact off of only ONE set of finger joints.  And as a
side benefit - there is no key hammer to lose.  Hammer or no, the strain
on your wrist is going to be the same as I see it, but I am no ortho
specialist either.
