Hmmm. Seems like you'd have to really know the hammers you were =
hanging--from experience with the brand and "style." I was talked into =
(only way I can say it) A. Isaac upright hammers for a Baldwin 6000. =
Those suckers were so soft they sounded like marshmallows on sticks. So =
rather than making pincushions out of them, I'd be more inclined to pour =
on the lacquer before a put in another set of those. But, having only =
used them once and having only installed new hammers 4 times, I wouldn't =
dare do anything until I'd had them in the piano to evaluate. Am I =
on-track here, or missing vital information?

  Heck, I needle and gang file them on the bench before I hang them, =
thought every body did that way.  <G>  Yamaha hammers about 7 or 8 shots =
per shoulder deep, with 3 needles.   And that is just getting started.   =
Once hung, lots more deep needling to open up the tone.  The less I have =
to do at the crown the better I like it.
