RES: Shoulders

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Rogerio,
                 You have a good grasp of what I was trying to impart, the
only time that I steam only one side of the hammer, is when I feel only one
side of the hammer has been needled previously.

I usually test a few hammers with needles just to get the feel of the felt.
the amount of voicing that I do I can feel how the shoulders kind of spring
between my fingers.

This is not all that uncommon to find this problem, as it is very
convenient for some techs to just needle the rear side of the hammer. ( a
practice that i disagree with). 

Hope this clears things up for you.
Roger
