There is a lot of information out there. Most technical books on pianos touch on the hammer. (e.g Reblitz, Dolge...) As well, there are specific booklets on voicing and related subjects. There is also information in the Archives. Perhaps the best way to get hammer felt questions asked is at a convention. It seems there is hardly any convention that does not feature seminars given by some of the world's experts on voicing, but also on hammer making. Why not simply ask Norbert Abel, Wally Brooks or Ray Negron at the next National or Regional?
