Yes.  I can find no definition of 'scruff' that remotely indicates 
the phenomenon under discussion.  Perhaps they mean 'scuff', but even 
that would be far-fetched.  What happens is that the nose of the 
hammer strokes the string or slides along it, as happens by design, 
and to a greater extent, in the Viennese grand action.
