S&S 1098 Hammer doping

[Newton Hunt]

>  after a few years the sound becomes very harsh and unpleasant

I have found this to be true of any hammer except for a few made in
Europe prior to W.W.II.

Modern hammers are ot made the way they used to be made.

Of course, no one knows what those hammers sounded like when they were
new either.
