Hi, Terry!

   My first instruction in tuning lead me to believe that there was one way, 
one position, and one method which fit all situations.  Of course that's not 
the case.

   Technique information re the hammer came to me first through a 
publication by Ken Burton, RPT, of Calgary.  I attended a seminar where Ken 
was a leader, and I purchased his book titled:  "Different Strokes - Hammer 
Techniques for Piano Technicians".  It was a definite eye-opener for a 
newbie like myself.  It might be something you could consider looking into.

    Ken can be contacted at KWBurton@cadvision.com .

    Best of luck!

                                                  Sincerely,
                                                  Tom Dickson
                                                  Regina, SK, Canada
