Hello all,
   Personally I like the Yamaha hammer it seems to fit a wide variety of
different makers pins, especially the taper seems to be good. When i bought
the hammer I also bought a number 3 tip but haven't needed it yet. The one
thing I don't like about it is its weight, it is just a little on the heavy
side. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that almost no hammer tip fits
a Young Chang pin very well? It seems like the taper on those pins are
different than others.
