[CAUT] More hammer length needed

[Bob Hull]

You are quite right! That was crazy.  I was just thinking of the hammer felt as being an area where no one could trespass.    At 42.5 mm in the low tenor it will be in the felt, but I guess it won't bleed!

Quite a crazy idea to solve a perceived problem!  Such Steinways had the boring in the low tenor going through the felt from original even with the "standard bore" of 45mm.  You can trim off the felt on the near side to clear the drill if you want, but that's not necessary either.
