But please keep in mind that these = hammers do not meet the minimum criteria for use in a piano to start = with - they are old, excessively/poorly filed in the past, and really = need to be replaced. The budget would not allow hammer replacement. My = objective was to eliminate the full one-inch contact surface and produce = something closer to the egg-shape in the contact area and not worry = about the shoulders of the hammer - again, because so much felt had been = removed/worn from these hammers over the life of this piano, I wanted to = leave as much weight as possible - and a $50 improvement was much more = in line with my client's thinking rather than a $1K hammer replacement = job.

In any event, this hammer will NOT pass the Technical exam -- unless = you first convince the examiner to try that new method of using alcohol = on hammers. You know, where ya drink it first and then apply liberally = to the action with an even back and forth spray. I believe that = tecknique arigionated in New Awlins, Lousyana, or maybe that's how folks = does it up there in Saskspittoon, Suskafrashawan, Canabeer. Might be wrong, it happened once before ...
