Yes, Wally Brooks showed us that trick a couple years ago. Good reminder!

Then, very lightly, file the left side of the crown so that on una corda, even though all three strings are being struck, the left hand one is only very lightly contacting the hammer. Just enough so that all strings are vibrating enough to help the wedges seat more rapidly. You get improved seating, and a usable una corda.
