Had a new customer today with a 1974 Yamaha C3 that does a perfect banjo =
imitation.  String cuts in the hammers aren't too bad.  I don't have =
much experience in voicing, but it seems that this is a good place to =
start; in the worst case, I hang new hammers and everyone's happy.

I'll begin with reshaping the hammers and leveling the strings, and see =
how far that takes me.  Would steam be a next step, or go right for the =
needles?  Any specific suggestions for these hammers?

Thanks as always,
