Hammer techniques

[RIrvingbas]

Hi list,

Speaking of special techniques for special occasions, I seek the collected
wisdom of the list. How in the heck does one rassle a 1098 into submission?
What are your favorite tricks for taming this beast? My Army unit, 
The United States Army Field Band, located at Fort Meade, Maryland, is about
to acquire two of these puppys, along with a D and a B, plus a model K.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
