It's not hammer tail hitting the wippen flange. What Terry is talking about 
is an Aeolian type wippen, that has a small metal bracket that goes over the 
top of the balancier of the wippen. It is there to prevent the top of the 
balancier to raise too much. (I don't understand why, or how it does that, 
but this is supposedly why it is there.)
