Voicing Technique

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Phil... you can also try going in with one needle barely
off the crown and at a slight angle away from parallel to
the the core. You can more or less "pry out" a bit on the
hammer felt from the inside this way. As with anything, too
much will be.... to much. :)

That being said, of late I have begun to develop a bit of
sceptical view to "fast results" needling techniques. Or
perhaps Andres visit here has just got me hooked on trying
to really for real master traditional needling techniques.

My only comment would be to check how long your results
hold, and how the technique contributes to hammer wear and
tear. Otherwise... what works....works. :)
