Richard, As I'm sure you know, when the hammers are made, the way they cut each individual hammer is usually with a guillatine. When the hammer is cut, the outer edges of the hammer felt "spring up" (for lack of a better discription) due to the relief of tension. This leaves the hammer low in the centre, and high on the sholders. To needle only the centre_will_ puff the that part of the hammer leaving it releativley square.. but, the centre soft and the sholders hard. Shaping the hammers first will leave the hammers level, then fit to the strings and voice to remove any unwanted single string partials. > Me thinks Mr Bob has a certain distaste for ETD's ?? Only when it is quite obvious that some ETD users don't have any real aural skills, yet delve into the world of adding or removing partials using a visual display.
