    Hhhhmmmmmmm
   I 'm with you ( whoever you are)on the abels.  I have heard and voiced
several sets with mixed results( some very good some not even  satisfactory)
Honestly what is the purpose of making them so bloody hard to begin with?
My unsoliceted advice is to lighten up on the steam when pressing them up to
begin with . Needlling felt is fine and normal, jack hammering it is not! It
makes no sense to me to have to be oblidged to obliterate the
elt( especially the treble) to get tone.
     We should form a new commettee to lokk into this.  Yeah ,I know ,we'll
call it the hammer police commitee
         Yawn..........
