No question about it! Which is why hammer manufacturers would do well to offer their hammers in three different pressings: soft, medium and hard to accommodate different soundboard responses and different accompanying scales. Weight variances are also important but at least one can manipulate that on one's own. Why this is so difficult, maybe someone can explain.

Door number two, please. Ron N
