Listen= to the changes. Add stitches next to the others as you go. You= will be amazed at the tone changes even though you aren't= working on the strike point. Also check the archives...

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?
