For focus I think you need a pretty firm supporting structure of the hammer that is not too hard on the crown—iron fist in a velvet glove. David This summer I spent quite a bit of time making sure the strings and hammers are level, etc. Since this is pretty much in the capo area, I will again make sure the strings are seated on the V bar, and on the bridges. To make sure I understand you right, though, for the hammers, should add hardener to the shoulders, and then soften up the top? Or just harden up the underneath, and leave the tops alone?
