David;
 Blues, as well as Able Performance present a different problem during filing 
in that the "normal" shoulder to crown motion doesn't work very well. However 
once you get used to going from crown to shoulder you will not have any more 
problems with either of these hammers.....although you DO have to pay 
attention to the crown area that is desired more than on a "normal" set of 
hammers such as Steinway. The crown kinda falls into place on those hammers 
where as with Blues and Abel Performance they don't.
 At least this has been my experiance with these thingees. :-)
