Dennis Johnson rote: << I realized that I could afford to trim about 3/32" off the hammer tails without compromise (I had cut the lengths allowing for a generous 1" tail), then tapered the mouldings a little more radically,>> Have you ever weighed hammers, say with a digital scale to the 0.1g? (Did you go to David Stanwood's class in KC this summer?) I'll send you a chart of stock removal on a set of new Steinway factory M hammers, which graphs grams removed and % of total hamm mass. Calling all cars, calling all cars!!! Does any else out there weigh hammers? I'd be glad to trade some specs.
