Stiff Shanks and knife edge Hammers

[Joseph Garrett]

All hammers damp upper partials, and thank heavens for that! To avoid it we
would need knife-edged hammers on inflexible shanks. Not a sound I would
work very hard to produce. 
 
Ed,
With hex shanks and "B-B" type hammers, we're coming close, methinks.<G>
