agraffe levelingJoe, Dampers are in newcondition. Actually not the damping that is the problem, but the out-of-phase strings caused by the poor mating of hammers to strings. If the strings just cannot be leveled by lifting, how much can you file a hammer before it causes another problem?

I have never gotten the bi-chords properly leveled. So just how much angle can you put on a hammer face without upsetting something else?

According to Goss's leveling device, all the tenor agraffes were way off. I tried pulling up the left string to level but couldn't make enough of a difference. A bad batch of agraffe drilling? I guess in this situation you have to fit the hammer to what you've got? David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
