Upright hammer bore

  Could it be they wanted the mass of the hammer at that  distance from the 
center pin to effect geometry or weight considerations.   Dunno

Another  boring thread...

I know this has been discussed but I don't recall ever  reading that
upright hammers should over-strike the strings.

I'm  ready to bore a set for a M&H. The present hammers are  severely
over-striking... to what advantage?

Why, in theory, would  hammer hanging differ between grands and verticals??

I have installed  vertical hammers with reduced the strike angle 
(reducing shank  height)
with favorable results but thought I'd run it by here before I  proceed.

I have Spurlock's hanging jig and will cut the shanks to  length 
en-mass with a band saw.
