Chris, Hammer Weight is certainly part of the voicing mix. It might be informative to put on a shank clip and see what increasing the Strike Weight does... and you could see what a lighter hammer weight does by switching out a shank from a higher octave and have a listen. Also it could be useful to know what the Strike Weight in that area is for reference. David Stanwood >Hello List, > >Just renewed the list last month and been reading...
