Hi Bob. Question, when will you want, need, these hammers? Also, will you need a set of bass strings? ari isaac hand made bass strings and piano hammers 416 229 2096 isaac at isaacpiano.com http://www.isaacpiano.com http://www.facebook.com/isaacpiano.com -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Bob Hull Sent: February-08-13 1:51 AM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] More hammer length needed You are quite right! That was crazy. I was just thinking of the hammer felt as being an area where no one could trespass. At 42.5 mm in the low tenor it will be in the felt, but I guess it won't bleed!

Somehow I need more distance between the hammer action center and the string ht. in order to drill lower on the hammer. Quite a crazy idea to solve a perceived problem! Such Steinways had the boring in the low tenor going through the felt from original even with the "standard bore" of 45mm. You can trim off the felt on the near side to clear the drill if you want, but that's not necessary either.
