	Thanks! I have read testimonials that said the technician loved those  
hammers, but the question is really whether the artists do as well,  
whether it serves in the concert situation. Often those two are in  
conflict (which is one thing this whole convoluted thread has been  
about). I look forward to some elaboration, especially concerning what  
kind of prep the hammers were given.
