bass hammers sound "tubby" when played

greetings,

            When the bass hammers of a particular turn of the century upright 
are played they sound "tubby", a very "round" dull sound. Would these hammers 
be a candidate for hardening solution or is it the strings' quality? I think 
it is the hammers because the bass hammers have hardly any grooves and show 
little wear.
 Suggestions?
