Dead spot

Well cackle some more, it is such a dreadful sound. :)

Now I have a question.  I have changed hammers on an S&S B.  The
originals, S&S, distorted at a MF level.  I put a set of Isaac's on and
the distortion could not be found at any level.  So, how much can be
inferred from the hammer and how much from the board and how can we tell
the difference.  Did I have a truly awful hammer to cause such
distortion?  I was impressed by the hammers and by the piano all over
again.  Oh, forgot, the piano had been restrung but that should not have
made that much of a difference.

Thoughts?  Cackling?  Distortion?
