Sorry, I have to ask: the hammer *shanks* have a coat of graphite?  Does =
this reduce friction with -- I dunno -- the air during play?!?

I'm still trying to figure out why bridge caps are graphited.  With 150 =
lbs. of tension on thin treble wire and just a few degrees of =
downbearing, I can't imagine that an un-graphited wooden cap gives much =
friction to steel during rendering.  But, I haven't done any =
experimentation.

  The graphite has gone from Samick action centres, that I can take some =
credit for.  However Renner hammer shanks and wips will still have a =
light coat of graphite.
