I really wish everyone would use the term "surfacing" hammers, as it best
describes what we are really doing to the hammer. The only hammer that is the
exception to this is the Steinway hammer, that has been lacquered. Because of
the lacquering, the hammer is now one homogenous blob that can be made into
any "shape".

uh That is odd. I've always filed them successfully before I turn them
into lacquered blobs. I guess I didn't know any better. I also always file the
Ronsen & Bass hammers a fair bit to get the shape I want
By the way the last set of Stwy Hammers I used in A B were spectacular.
Except for the initial filing, fitting & Usual weight prep they required almost
no lacquer & mostly in the bass & the sound was really, really good out of
the box.
I spoke With Eric Schandall at Stwy & asked him what was up & he said that
the hammers are being pressed with more pressure.
